And Speaking of Millers
I saw a van that had �All My Sons Moving and Storage� written on the side, and I was really hoping they were making a delivery to �The Crucible Laboratory Supplies� or �Death of a Salesman Discount Housewares Warehouse�.
But pompous American Drama 101 references aside, I think �All My Sons Moving and Storage� is asking for trouble. What if just one son wants a different career? Even if the owner has only one son, there�s still a chance the kid could wake up and decide he wants to manufacture airplane parts for a living. And for every son, the odds that one of them won�t follow in the old man�s footsteps only increases. And then someone�s going to be driving around in the Truck of Lies.
It just seems like a recipe for tragedy.
