We "care" about upholding the bill of rights


I like to believe the signmakers put those quotes in for sarcasm reasons (spotted by me and Jim atop smoky mountain national park).

more food you "might" want to eat


thanks to frequent contributor Hailey who found this in a Great Wraps in San Antonio. I'm disappointed she didn't order it using air quotes.

reader maureen documents an additional case here. I suspect these quotation marks are meaningful, but it is still strange.

no new quotes today

except this post at crummy church signs includes some sketchy quotes (see the sign beginning "it's back")

Crummy church signs also includes high quality snarking that I, for one, approve of. Perhaps friends of this blog would also appreciate it. (thanks to Jon and Claude for bringing it to my attention)

"data" = the result of pseudo-science

thanks to my friend and ex-roommate Sarah for sharing this memo from her school:

- (speaker's name removed) will be at our school on October 17th to meet with staff
about possible "options" due to savings under the "Cafeteria Plan"

-October 20th is a one-half day of school for "data" review and PDSA refinement

-October 27th will be the same "as above"

then again, how does one "equip" pants?

I can't remember what outlet store we took this picture in:

I guess that means they aren't actually that comfortable?

Homemade

Spotted when I went out to lunch at Big Apple Bagels the other day:

Babs' "homemade" tuna salad

So canned in other words.

Hope you don't need to use the facilities...

On the door at my insurance agent's office:

"No trespassing"

followed by

"No public restrooms"

It almost made me want to go to a new insurance agent.

I know a few good "charities"

thanks to Matt's friend Neal for spotting two hillarious examples, the first in this photo:


I'm going to start the Bethany's vacation "charity" soon... good idea!

The second was described thus:

"Also, this morning we saw a homemade sign (alas I didn't get a
picture) for
The Rub "Doctor" - Massage Therapist
Kind of creepy."

yes.

extra punctuation "free of charge"



Jon and Claude found this one on a Georgia highway. Someone is telling us to buy more for less. someone quoteable. Also, they are not open on any of the days after sunday and before monday. So if it's one of those days, and you want to "buy more for less"... tough luck.

"pool rules"



apparently actual cutoffs or diapers that are REALLY exposed are a-ok. (seen at at least 2 Georgia apartment complex swimming pools)
