Signs of the Times

[LNBruno]

Search is broken, so I don't know if we've gone here before.

Lately, I've taken notice of some unusual and, I'm sure often, unintended phrases in signage. Here are a few. What are some of your favorites?

Sign...

...outside a chiropractor's office: "Trying to get pregnant? We can help!"

...in front of a South Florida paving company: "If you don't like the looks of your driveway, it's your own asphalt."

...in the window of a Mexican restaurant: "Children, buy one, get one free."

...at the local dry cleaners: "Drop your pants here, $2.95."

I dunno, guys...I hear it is making a comeback. Most people look pretty classy in one.

Si hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis propinquus ades.

Solum potestis prohibere ignes silvarum.

Why, thank you! (But I also have good brakes. <grin>)

Seen in a bar:

The customer is always right.
The bartender decides who gets to be a customer.

O sibili si emgo
Fortibus es in aro
O nobili demis trux
Vatis in em caus an dux

The Latin translation is double talk, but read the "Latin" aloud (without translating) for a fun little kids' rhyme.

Sign in a UK chemists (pharmacy):

"We dispense with accuracy".

Sign on the back of a septic tank truck: “Caution: Vehicle may be transporting political promises!”

Ta for that on a very dull Friday Afternoon.

The question should be [red]Is it worth trying to do?[/red] not [blue] Can it be done?[/blue]

This one is funny.

Your satisfaction guaranteed or your dirt back!

This one is disturbing.

Merry Christmas too you

<Merry Christmas too you
Yes, apparently they left out a comma, a disturbing trend. Should read "Merry Christmas too, you" of course.
