Signs of the Times

[GingerSnaps]

In a clothing store: "Wonderful bargains for men with 16 and 17 necks."

At a teriyaki restaurant: "$3.99 Chicken Bowel!"

In a Vermont men's store: "25 men's wool suits, $10. They won't last an hour!"

On a shopping mall marquee: "Archery Tournament - Ears pierced"

In a Mall: "Ears pierced, while you wait"

In a New Jersey store: "Why go elsewhere and be cheated when you can come here?"

Seen on a Taco Bell sign in Coralville, Iowa: "Everyday low value"

In a Maine restaurant: "At your service: Open 7 days a week and weekends."

On a radiator repair garage: "Best place to take a leak."

In the vestry of a Westminster church: "Will the last person to leave please see that the perpetual light is extinguished."

Outside a country shop: "We buy junk and sell antiques."

In an Ohio cemetery: "Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own graves."

In Vancouver, British Columbia, on a folding sign in front of a small language school: "English Tootering"

On a roller coaster: "Watch your head."

On the grounds of a public school: "No trespassing without permission."

On a Tennessee highway: "When this sign is under water, this road is impassable."

In a New Hampshire car wash: "If you can't read this, it's time to wash your car."

1. Well from what I've seen of the American public lately, this is pretty par

for the course.

[GingerSnaps]

2. I like this one

Outside a country shop: "We buy junk and sell antiques."

3. There is an actual store in Winchester, New Hampshire

That advertises "New and Used Antiques". And when I was a kid, we stopped at another place in NH that advertised, "Eat Here and Get Gas."

5. Where in NH was that?

I think I might have seen that sign too.

7. The "Eat Here and Get Gas"?

It was along 101 on the way to Hampton Beach. We used to go every summer. I think it was probably east of Manchester. Not sure exactly. Around Epping, maybe. That area.

10. I might have seen it driving from Maine to

New Hampshire then. We used to go Manchester/Derry area a lot. My dad grew up there.

I swear I can remember my dad joking about that sign. Asking me if I wanted to eat there, or something. It just was a long time ago so it's hard to remember.

4. Thanks giving me something

to laugh about today.

~A!

9. Anytime

:bounce:

6. Vancouver is FULL of gems

My favourite is the "Pho bich nigga" Restaurant and another place downtown that says "We are specializing in the serving of Canadin and korean foods."

[GingerSnaps]

8. We have a store that sells Nuts

The parking lot sign has "Parking for Nuts only" on it.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

11. "No glass containers of pets" are allowed

in the pool area at our apartment complex. "Of" is supposed to be "or", of course.

[gmoney]

12. Yeah, there's a jeweler here who advertises...

that if your husband has grown too fat to get his wedding ring off his finger, that they will cut the ring off "while you wait" -- not sure what those OTHER jewelers make you do.
