Awesome Sign at store

[ApolloSZ]

Was down in the deep south this weekend for a holiday (as in, wayyyy down the bottom of the south Island) and at the local 4Square, like a mini mart, and I saw a sign taped to the cash register/belt bit.

"Please be advised we do not give change or cash out larger than fourty dollars"

but the best bit was the piece underneath, part of the same sign, not added on or anything

"In other words, dont embarrass yourself by buying a pack of gum and paying with a fifty or hundred dollar note."

That's awesome. The most awesome one I've seen, though, was at Alida's. It's a place that sells homemade jams and jellies, as well as chocolate-covered dried fruit and stuff like that. My mom and I were in there, looking for a really good peach syrup. There was a sign behind the counter that I couldn't help but stop to look (and giggle) at:


Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy.

According to the guy behind the counter, it was actually highly effective.

Firecat - The other one I've seen (towards the other end of the country lol) was

Unattended children will be sold for medical experiments.

Oh, when you said "Deep South" and then mentioned an island, I got confused. I was expecting the setting to be Mississippi or Alabama, and involve rednecks, racism, the name "Bubba," inbreeding, the Republican party, the Democratic party**, intolerance, or any combination thereof.

And being a Texan, I'm allowed to say all that.

(** The American South is, as a whole, conservative -- guns, god, and patriotism and all that, but it's also home to notable Democrats like Clinton and Gore.)

Lol don't worry, alot of people this way have their own stereotypes of deep south america etc. I blame the movies. And tomatoes


(Only because I really, really dont like Tomatoes. Lol.)

In downtown toronto (a very touristy part of the city which i live in/LOVE) there's a Ben and Jerry's store (its closed i think) but they have a ledge and i guess they got tired of having people sit on it cause its got a small laminated sign thats says:
"Sit on this ledge and Zombies will devour your brains! --Management "

I even have a picture of it!

So I take if your name isn't Elizabeth Bennet, you're not supposed to sit on the ledge?

Creepy, me too!!!!!
But i blame my years at BK. Slicing those tomatos with that horrid machine, seeing all the moldy and rotten ones and that smell!!!!

[Primer]

Slicing those tomatos with that horrid machine,

Is that the contraption that is about a foot long, and has 5 or 6 bare blades mounted horizontally in parallel, and a handle to push the tomato on through after you've started it by hand?

I still have a scar on the tip of my index finger from that thing, even after 32 years!
It really didn't help that when it happened, I had to open it up to see how deep it was.... Tomato juice really stings!

[kiwiwinelover]

Thats the one! Ugh!
