Todd writes, "I saw this sign outside a great sushi place in Vancouver, Canada, where I live" but gives no indication why someone might want to be figuratively given five.
Well, you see it's a panhandler.....and they're not talking about a 'high-five' but a fiver, as in money. "Give me" is perhaps an attempt to be polite?
I'm not sure whether I'm reminded of high-fives or "Drop down give me five!" like with push-ups. Maybe it's the push-ups. After all, you're not really GIVING push-ups, you're just performing them.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, mere months after they arrive (sorry).
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, send me a link with no context or leave it in a comment. I need them all in the same place.
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.

My first thought was panhandler, too. I would "give" him money, but not really.
lattegirl, perhaps it's a loan....or a bailout, maybe?
Great to see this...
thanks for sharing....
