Signs


OK, this challenge was much more difficult than I expected. When I read that this week's challenge was to take pictures of weird, funny signs, I immediately thought of a couple here in my neck of the woods. So, I got up this morning, threw the girls and Diesel in the car, and headed out to snap a picture of the "Newcomer Mortuary" sign and a couple of others. Well, none of those signs exist today. Damn! And after almost causing a couple of accidents ( I realllllly wanted a picture of the "Dam Road Closed" sign), I had to opt for these easy, lame signs.

These lovelies can be found in my garage. The second drives me CRAZY- how illiterate was this person?? But, Brett loves it......figures.

















Here are two signs that I absolutely despise!!! I do like the bouncing balls added to "Dick's"..what a creative touch. And, "Wahoo's FISH Taco"??? That's just not right. It may be a great place to dine, but the sign keeps me away. Oh, and have you ever tried googling "Dick's"? My nephew did, trying to find a tennis racket. Let's just say he found A LOT more than he ever expected!!!! I say they should change their name to "Dan's" or "Dave's". Anything but "Dick's".
