The McSkunkville Bible — The Book of the Stripe · Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo knows the McSkunkville way: keep your word, keep your receipts. These days, the Santo Domingo chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and Dominican Republic is a long way from Highway 75 — the welcome isn't.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was recorded. So opens the Book of the Stripe, the founding scripture of McSkunkville, kept chained to the courthouse lectern — not to protect the book from the people, but to remind the people it belongs to all of them.

Its three great commandments are known to every child on the planet: BE SUPERSONIC HONEST. BE SUPERSONIC POLITE. ONLY FIGHT WHEN YOU ARE RIGHT. Every other verse — the Psalm of the Receipt, the Proverbs of the Ledger, the Lamentations of the Missing Transcript — is commentary.

The book's final verse is the town's benediction, spoken at every graduation, every trial, and every goodbye: 'Make a record, and the record will keep thee.'

Worldwide Access — The McSkunkville Bible — The Book of the Stripe greets readers in Santo Domingo and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
