I see how this is


I watched Scrubs. I know what goes on in "Supply Closets." (hint: it's makeouts). Thanks Mike, who also posted here.

drag queen... something else?


I guess they are selling padded bras here and pretending they are wigs? Thanks, Caitlin.

great quote


Winston Churchill, right? Thanks, James.

"please"


You jerky outsiders and your annoying parking. We are not interested in being polite to you, really. Thanks, Sarah.

kind of tame


Really these salmon have an inflated idea of how crazy their night life is. Thanks, Becky.

"world famous"


These hot dogs are sort of famous somewhere. Thanks, Kristen.

the quotes go around the quotation, kids


I think the church janitor may have crossed the line when he decided his new nickname was "God." Thanks, Patrick.

if you insist on calling that thing a dog


More like a pig, amiright? Thanks, Angie.

keep doing that


I mean, if you were really thinking, you might avoid fast food. So thanks for pretend thinking. And thanks for sending this in, Darlene.

code words everywhere


I have no idea what it means to walk with an "old x-ray." It's probably code for some terrible punishment. Thanks, Kiron.

bagel code


I want to have a secret code in bagels, that sounds delicious. Thanks, Julie.

I see what's going on here


So "noon" means "whenever I show up at the store, how's 9ish?" Thanks, William.

in this life anyway


Is it just me, or do the quotation marks make this sign seem threatening? Thanks, Jason.

totally ordinary


Typical Mongolian Beef just doesn't sound that appetizing. Thanks, Jill.

as we call them


Really they are pinto beans and some food coloring. Thanks, Lisa.

said the wolf


Kristy spotted this outside a wolf's cage at the zoo. Either the wolf is being sarcastic, or this is an actual quotation from the wolf.

or your doppelganger


There is someone we value. It may or may not be you. Thanks, Jeremy.

someday


Oh man, non-events. They are so "fun." Thanks, Patrick.

if you call that candy


Nothing like something you can barely call candy. Maybe it's "healthy" or something. Thanks, Kiersten.

some "deal"


I guess it's not much of a deal. Thanks, Miklos.

west-south-west really


Aaron spotted this one at Portland State University. I guess the traffic is going west-ish.

Nickleback!!!


My favorite thing about this sign is the way the smiley face and three exclamation marks are included within the quotation marks. Because that kind of hand-written enthusiasm for Nickelback can't be sincere. Thanks Marianne and Katie.

something like food


Don't be fooled, this "food" is actually made in America. Thanks, Monica.

as they call it


I guess fake potty trained kids, totally cool. Thanks, David.

sneaky


Debra got it right when she wrote, "Talk about hidden fees!"

or is it?


I love the general syntax of this sign, and the way it is confusing and then made more confusing with ambiguous quotation marks. Thanks Karen and Krista!

depends on your definition of extra


I imagine they lowered the "normal" amount of cheese so that the new normal could be "extra." Thanks, Michael.

ONE scooter is ok


This place they call an "entrance," it is so confusing. People use it to exit all the time. Thanks, Crystal and Michael.

by now it's made it to slightly tacky


Jessie writes, "Perhaps the writer was acknowledging that the sign would be up long after the paint had dried. And then, there's the question of the arrow..." nothing like dry paint only where that arrow is pointing.

a day without labor


I don't know why the sarcasm about labor day, but there you have it. Thanks, Brittney.
