Anyone else here tempted to just cover up the "Coffee" part of the sign so it simply reads "Drink and Drive"? I bet that one would go over well with the various law enforcement agencies...
I drive past this coffee shop fairly regularly, and there is a utility box (which you can kind of see on the left side of the photo) that blocks the word "Coffee" until just before you reach the intersection. From a distance, the sign does appear to be encouraging you to drink and drive.
i totally just sent in this same picture except for a different store in Ames, IA. apparently there is more than one of these neon signs around which worries me. covering up "coffee" is brilliant!
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

This blog makes me laugh! (English teacher and hater of unnecessary punctuation here.) You're on my blogroll, so I can get a daily dose. =)
I just got a "latte" at Starbucks, myself!

At least they're not setting you up for a letdown.

I almost sent in the one from Ames, too. Perhaps "coffee" is a PC euphemism for "alcohol" - if it's "coffee" then it's ok...
Maybe it's Irish coffee?
