That's good, Kelly...sounds like some (most) of the roads around here.
There's a sign on the highway (49) going down to Hattiesburg (don't have a pic) but it is cool. It says "USED COWS FOR SALE"
Hey Catherine....are you still working on those merry-go-round animals, or is that finished? I'd like to see some pics of the finished product. They surely had to be beautiful.

When I was young, there was a sign on a restaurant by the highway in Racine, Wisconsin which read:
"Come in and taste our lousy coffee"
Somewhere, I have the picture I took of it when I was ten.
I also saw a carwash sign locally that stated their policy:
"Satisfaction guaranteed or your dirt refunded"
In the early '70s, a gas station here had a readerboard with the following:
"Free car wash with fill up of $800.00 or more"
At that time, you'd have needed to drive a DC-8 in there to do that, now, all you need is a Hummer.
Another gas station's readerboard said:
"Road maps folded free with fill up"

I used to live in a small town in NNY and a resturant there had a couple of neat messages. One said, Our food is lousy, stop and see for yourself. The other, Eat here or we'll both starve! The food was superb and so was the service, I ate there many times. Don

There used to be a private trash service up in Cincinnati that had a big sign on both sides of their trucks "SATISFACTION GUARANTEED OR DOUBLE YOUR GARBAGE BACK"
A buddy of mine had a radiator repair shop. We put on the front of his van "A GOOD PLACE TO TAKE A LEAK"

Jon... there's a town called Phuket ???
I'm the mayor of Phuket, got a problem ?
I work for the Phuket fire dept., when there's an alarm... we just say...
Are we supposed to deliver those boxes in Shing-Shing, Kepok and Waboowaboo? Nah... just Phuket!
It's easy to find, take highway 69-South, down the valley, you'll see a sign....Phuket!
...there's more in the bag but I got work to do....Phuket!

Good one Rene,
except you actually pronounce it sort-of like "Poo-ket". It comes from a Malay word meaning hill - originally pronounced Bu-ket (as in Boo-ket, not bucket!)

I may have posted this one way way back, but it fit right in here...I took this picture. While out on a motorcycle ride. I saw this, LOL'd in my helmet, turned around and snapped this pic.
The Burger King closed soon after and no one has leased it since (8+ years) Kinda makes you wonder why...
