A Funny Sign ...

Copyright clytie garretson 2013

I was driving through a very busy strip mall parking lot in a nearby town, when this sign caught my eye ... I made another trip through the lot, then held up traffic while I snapped this shot through my windshield.

I offered to take mom to pick up one of those gift certificates ... she declined. She said she had to wonder about the quality for the price ... and the good ones her age are probably already taken anyway!

Semi Salad???

Just in case you get the freeway munchies, and are tempted to nibble on this semi truck ...

Don't!

It's INEDIBLE!

Who knew???

Please Pull Up ...

I know the sign itself isn't so funny ...

It's the mental image I got when I read it.

I kept seeing myself in my car ...

"Please pull up to pay for your order ..."

"Please pull up to flush ..."

Ack!

More Uses for Honey???

I actually pulled over beside a very busy road, and walked back nearly a quarter of a mile to get this shot - but it was worth it!

I never would have thought to use honey to preserve flowers!
(LOL - I know it's just a list of what the roadside stand sells; I just like the way it makes me laugh!)

Praying for Rain?????

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have had a wet and dreary spring.
March set new records for excessive rainfall; April is close.
Our pond has overflowed, and the lawn is squishy.
Sigh.

I was bringing mom to work (in the pouring rain, of course!) when I spied this delightful sign at a church in Tigard.

I ended up doing a U-turn and going back to get a shot!

MandM Escape - Signs, Signs!

I was filling my car with gasoline, trying to avoid looking at the mounting "total".
My eye was drawn to the building which also included a small store.

I had to laugh at this M&M Dude trying desperately to escape through the glass of the store.
I wonder if the attendant (I live in Oregon and we aren't allowed to pump our own gas) heard my giggling as I pulled out my camera to get this shot through the windshield???

Some "Signs" Need No Words ...

"Signs, Signs"!

"Wordless Wednesday"!

I've Stopped Listening ...

Someone, who shall remain nameless (yes, it's a relative, must I claim them???), was visiting my parents.

I found this old sign, and hung it up near the door.

They didn't take the hint.

Sigh ...

My ears still hurt.

Handicapped Sign

I found this sign on the door of a restroom in a local supermarket.

It would seem that ALL handicaps are covered here!

This Door Closed ... Signs Signs

I was actually leaving the parking lot when I spied this sign ... I did a U-turn (sorry to all of those people I cut off!!!) and pulled back into the lot - just to get this shot!

I wonder if someone had tried to walk through the door without realizing it was closed?
Or maybe it is the owner's way of saying ... please use the FRONT door?

Either way, I got a giggle to start my day ... and the other drivers on the road got to vent all of their frustrations!!!

It's the one year Memoversary for Lesley's "Signs, Signs"!

Espresso Plants are Seasonal Items!!!

Thanks to Lesley over at "Signs, Signs", I have come to see signs in a whole new way ... like this delightful sign I drive by at least once a week.

I never before noticed - or even knew - that Espresso Plants were Seasonal Items - and could be purchased at a Drive-Thru Greenhouse!!!
Snicker.

Thank you, Lesley, and everyone who participates in this meme - I love visiting all of the wonderful signs found around the world!

Crawl Ins Welcome

Sanitary Sewer???

I did a double-take when I saw this sign ...

I mean, I was under the impression that most sewers were "unsanitary" by definition!

Or maybe the people of Sherwood are so perfect they ... well, you know what I'm gonna say ... it's right up there with "I NEVER fart and when I do it smells like roses", right?

And since it's Wednesday and all, I'm going to link this up with Lesley's "Signs, Signs"!

Heapest Beer in Town!

So I guess the obvious question is ...

How do you HEAP beer???

I mean, wouldn't it spill out of the glass?

Inclement Weather Bus Stop ... Signs, Signs

With the onset of the possibility of winter weather conditions, we have taken all precautions to chain up our bus stops.

Our desire is that all of our bus stop signs are safe from slip-and-fall accidents!

At least until the weather improves.

Stay Out While Running - Signs, Signs

I ended up behind this hopper truck on our rural road.
It was going maybe 10 miles an hour, and I couldn't pass.
It's a good thing too, because then I wouldn't have noticed the sign on the back!
I mean ... talk about stating the obvious!!!

No Parking Sign ...

I THINK I'll find another place to park ...

Hot Air Balloons Can't Read!

I took this photo last July when a hot air balloon descended on the parking lot of the once-abandoned church across the street.

I guess they couldn't read the sign from up in the air ...

And I don't think they cared!!!

A Bad Contractor?

I was on my way home from church when I noticed this, um, altered sign. It looks like someone was NOT happy with this company, and came up with a unique way of making sure no one else gets a bad deal!

Signs That Make You Go "Huh???"

I'm not sure what this guy was advertising ... but it looks like it involves some kind of flame thrower!

Or maybe he was protesting AGAINST the stupid dangerous pranks on YT - involving flame throwers???

Either way, I found this car parked in front of a craft store, and couldn't resist the pic!
