Ignorance is Entertaining III

This sign is absolutely hilarious. Can anyone spot the irony here? (And, no, it has nothing to do with Hooters!)

I present to you two additional entertaining signs that I discovered over the weekend:




Awesome! Where else can you get not only $2 mimosa is, but also a $4 discount on rivertini is?

I Need to Decorate my Car

On my 12.5-mile, 1.25-hour commute home earlier this week, I was heavily influenced by other people's cars. I then decided that I need to add some "flair" to my car. I have a Honda Civic, so that gives me a great advantage right away.

First of all, I'm going to tint my windows until they're black. Then I'm going to add a spoiler, some chrome tail light covers, a couple of racing stripes, and some flashy rims worth more than the car. I can't forget to add a large "2002 Honda Civic" decal to each side of the car. Most importantly, I'm going to get an exhaust pipe the diameter of a cantaloupe so my car can sound like a weedeater when I rev my engine. Then I'll randomly hit the gas while driving down the highway just to prove to everybody that I'm a badass.

But this won't be enough! I'll also need to add a couple of memorials to dead people. I think I'll add "In memory of Yehudi Menuhin 1916-1999" and "In memory of Estée Lauder 1906-2004." But these mobile tombstones are usually for people who croaked at a young age. Therefore, I'll also add "In memory of River Phoenix 1970-1993."

Finally, to show the tender side of my personality, I'll slap one of those "I love my wife" bumper stickers on my rear bumper. I've been married for 9 years & have 3 kids with my wife. But in case there's any doubt, I want to advertise that I love her to the thousands of other drivers I encounter every day who give less than a shit about my marital relationship.

Just for fun, I think I might also add "McCain - Palin" and "Obama - Biden" bumper stickers to confuse the hell out of everyone.

Once all of this is done, I'll finally feel better about myself and be secure in my masculinity!

Ignorance is Entertaining

There's no question that ignorance is entertaining. With ignorance being so rampant these days, there are a lot of people who will continue to keep us entertained for a long time. For example, here's a photo on a billboard alongside a major interstate in a metropolitan area near my home:


Yes, buy your boat from the real pro is! What I want to know is how somebody could have let that apostrophe make it through design and printing without noticing it. I guess everybody who proofed that design didn't know the difference between a plural and a possessive. Ugh. Here's another wonderful example:


Sharp employees at that Hobby Lobby! It's a good thing that their clock movements include hand is. One final example:


This is a sign backstage at a popular music venue. Remember, fellow musicians, no bottle is are allowed beyond the sign! Also, the word "pass" is curious here. It works, but my first choice would have been to use the word "past." And I would have put "please" after "point." Oh, well. I won't get too nit-picky.

That is all for now.
