Neither would I. That sign would send me elsewhere fast. The gentleman is a moron.

Check out this "review" of ol'Gaster's place--
Stephen Hill reviewed in the last week
Quality 0 / 3
This place is great. He didn't get any help from the government at all when building this business so he had to haul the building materials through the woods to avoid the government built roads. He doesn't use a cell phone because the government regulates the spectrum. The area it's in is a little dangerous because the government funded police do not protect the place from robbery. One time he had a small fire but, like any real American, he put it out himself without the use of the government funded fire department. He doesn't take advantage of ANY government tax incentives as a small business owner. The building is a little rickety because he doesn't believe in government building codes so, watch out! Place floods occasionally because government employed civil engineers didn't create drainage and sewer system for him. No running water because government funded utilities are for Marxists. Only excepts trade because government built monetary system and regulations are for pansies. Can't count anyway because refused to go to government funded school Just a true American

The only problem I see is that it says Tax Payer "founded" instead of funded.
