Silly signs????
Thank you, I love getting up and finding things like this. A shrink years ago suggested that everyone read the funny's in the newspaper every morning. He said studies had found people who started their days with a laugh, had lower blood pressure, was less likely to have a heart attack that day, less likely to have a stroke that day. Was more pleasant to work for on that day, and more likely to get more work done. Children who read them or even had them read to them had better results on tests and we less likey to fight with sibblings.


I have tried to to that every day, some days I don't and I always wonder if I was more of a grump that day? Thank you again for starting my day off with a good laugh.
Reply:These are hilarious, hair blow driers, do not use when showering, Do not pass when there is on coming traffic, at a restaurant and gas station in Indiana, Eat here and get gas.
Reply:Very funny. I have seen a beauty salon called "Curl Up and Dye". I don't know if this fits into your category, but I think it is a good name for a shop.

Reply:Sid, those were a hoot. It makes you wonder why someone would even consider eating a urinal cake? Only in Wisconsin . . . I can say that since that's where I live!





These remind me of an ad I saw in the yellow pages promoting the phone company. It just happened to be on the page with the funeral home listings. It read: "Miss the ones you love, reach them with long distance."





Thanks for the laugh!
Reply:I like those. I don't recall the man's name, but there is a sign (if you will) hanging on the wall in the court house in Hugo, Oklahoma on the second floor to the right as soon as you are at the top of the stairs that has "(his name), died during erection (date he died)." What it is really saying is he died during the erection of the building of the court house. They just worded it wrong. I was told about it by my ex-father in law as he lives there in Hugo. One day while we were there visiting, he took us there to see the sign. I wished a 1,000 times that I had taken a picture of that.
