All of the following quotes have been found on a building somewhere in Milwaukee county. Usually carved into the actual building but it's not like we have any strict rules. We're just having fun, and in fact the weirder or more bizarre the quote the better. Of course, the person who submits the quote (or anyone very close to that person) should not be the one to provide an answer. The person to first answer on the Milwaukee Madness 2U yahoo group (see below) is considered the official answerer. That's also a good place to submit new quotes that you find so we can add them to the list.

Is this common? I usually see it abbreviated as A.D. or AD and have only seen it spelled out in one place. Maybe people will spot it elsewhere too.
