The picture of the guy next to it is fantastic. I'm sure he's supposed to be welcoming you with open arms or something, but it looks to me like he's shrugging, like "hey, waddaya want from us? We're 'pretty good'...as in, we're probably not gonna kill ya er nothin'..."
I wonder if that Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery has any relation to the Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery that Garrison Keillor talks about in his Lake Woebegone stories.
I'm pretty sure the joke really is intended here. Either the person who made this sign really does have a sense of humor, or REALLY doesn't understand irony.
Hey, I've got a vital question for you...Please visit this (http://nh92.blogspot.com/2008/09/mysterious-prefixes.html) page (from my blog, if you hadn't guessed) and tell me if I used the quotation marks properly. It's VITAL!
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.

The missing face of the letter P which has fallen off their sign is further evidence of their mediocrity.

Almost as disturbing as Pretty Good "Grocery".
Hurm... I gotta actually call you on this one.
