The Signs Of Our Times

***Carrie*** · 09-10-2004, 07:09 PM

Here are some blunderful examples of actual signs that were seen across America.

At restaurant-gas stations throughout the nation: Eat here and get gas.

In a New York restaurant: Customers who consider our waitresses uncivil ought to see the manager.

In a Michigan restaurant: The early bird gets the worm! Special shoppers' luncheon before 11 a.m.

On a delicatessen wall: Our best is none too good.

On the wall of a Baltimore estate: Trespassers will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. -----Sisters of Mercy.

In a Los Angeles dance hall: Good clean dancing every night but Sunday.

On a movie theater: Children's matinee today, Adults not admitted unless with child.

In a Florida maternity ward: No children allowed.

In the offices of a loan company: Ask about our plans for owning your home.

In a New York medical building: Mental health prevention center.

On a Maine shop: Our motto is to give our customers the lowest possible prices and workmanship.

On a display of "I love You Only" Valentine cards: Now available in multi-packs.

In the window of a Kentucky appliance store: Don't kill your wife. Let our washing machines do the dirty work.

In a funeral parlor: Ask about our layaway plan.

On a window of a New Hampshire hamburger restaurant: Yes, we are open. Sorry for the inconvenience.

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

In a Tacoma, Washington, men's clothing store: 15 men's wool suits-$10.00- They won't last an hour!

On an Indiana shopping mall marquee: Archery tournament. Ears pierced.

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

In the window of an Oregon general store: Why go elsewhere to be cheated, when you can come here?

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

On a movie marquee: Now Playing: Adam and Eve with a cast of thousands!

Ina Pennsylvania cemetery: Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own graves.

On a Tennessee highway: Take notice: when this sign is under water, this road is impassable.

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

I saw another cute one just today.. On an auto repair shop near Hayden, Idaho: We meet the nicest people by accident

sheltiepups · 09-11-2004, 07:19 AM

lol those are funny

Lil'Paws · 09-11-2004, 07:52 AM

I enjoyed those...

***Carrie*** · 09-11-2004, 10:11 AM

Rips girl. That's a good one!

***Carrie*** · 09-12-2004, 10:00 PM

bumping this thread up for anyone who didn't see and wants a laugh. Maybe the title was no good. Or maybe it's not as funny as I think it is. LOL.

stardust · 09-12-2004, 10:01 PM

I think the title is funny and appropriate.

***Carrie*** · 09-12-2004, 10:04 PM

Well thanks Stardust.

I meant that the title might not give a clue that this is for funny stuff. Probably people thought, "oh no...Carrie's rampaging on another political mission" and stayed clear. LOL.

Anyhow, hope you liked the funnies!

stardust · 09-12-2004, 10:06 PM

LOL well if people dont like your opinions they dont have to read them.. at least you are a person who sticks to one story and isnt lying and changing your opinions based on others.. people like that just irk me. glad you stay true

Rip's Girl · 09-12-2004, 10:15 PM

you're exactly right stardust.. We can always count on you to speak your opinion Carrie, that's cool.

***Carrie*** · 09-12-2004, 10:23 PM

Thanks guys, but I think I might over step sometimes and be too harsh. I don't want to be like that because I'm not. Someone said in another thread, I think pugdog that I was one tough cookie. I had to laugh pretty hard because I may be on some things that I believe in firmly. And I do say what I think. But on emotional things....every day stuff, friend's problems that they talk about etc.....I'm mush. I really am a softie for the most part. LOL

DogLover8 · 05-18-2007, 10:24 AM

The signs are all too funny!

This is an old thread but I could not resist replying.

trainingrixie · 05-18-2007, 10:53 AM

I'm glad you replied and bumped the thread....this thread made my day!

DogLover8 · 05-18-2007, 10:55 AM

My favorite sign is the "Mental health prevention center".

Ritz459 · 05-18-2007, 02:51 PM

HAHAHAHA, that is too funny.

We actually have that "eat here and get gas" sign close to our home. We chuckle about it everytime we drive by.

Here are some funny signs taken off of the message boards that churchs have (I got these from June's issue of Readers Digest:

Selkirk, Newyork - Keep using My name in vain I'll make rush hour longer - God

Nashville, Tennessee - Walmart isn't the only saving place in town

Arcadia, Flordia - It wasn't the apple, it was the pair.

Denver, Colorado - Don't give up! Moses was once a basket case!

Bay St. Louis, Mississippi - When the last trumpet sounds we're outta here

Cape Coral, Flordia - Let's meet at My house Sunday before the game - God.
