Auto Repair
I know brakes can get hot, but they are selling ice to cool them down? This is one of those signs where they didn’t have the letters needed, and left it blank figuring that anyone could make the proper assumption.
Flavored Brake Pads
Only in the fall! Flavored Brake pads. The rest of the year, they have no flavor. If you don’t believe them, go taste one.
Cheeseburgers
Now this one brings some wonder. And keep in mind I am making the assumption that the number shown is the price and not some quantity. I would hate to think that they had 99 cheeseburgers sitting around.
But I see one can get a cheeseburger for 99 cents. But the next line is confusing. It does not say they are offering Double CheeseBURGERS. It simply says Double Cheese. I remember a few years ago (well maybe not so few) when cheeseburgers were 10 cents more than hamburgers. If you wanted a second slice of cheese on your cheeseburger, you could get that, and it cost an extra 10 cents. Has inflation caught up with things and it is only offering a second slice of cheese for that extra 50 cents? And is that an extra two slices for another dollar?
One has to wonder when they put up signs that are not completely self explanatory. Of course, I guess with limited space one needs to get creative. How about Dbl Cheeseburgers? Would make more sense to me. But then again, look at how I read signs. See below where this came from.
Seafood?
I have to assume we’re talking about crabs here. At least I hope we’re talking about crabs.
Horse on Bike?
Horse and Bike crossing? How many horses own bicycles? Better yet, how many horses ride bicycles? Based on this sign, one would think that they have quite a few here. Otherwise they would not have posted it. (This is from the Biltmore estate in Asheville, NC. I guess with all the money put into the place, they must have spent a lot on the training of their horses.)
Slow Horse
So now the horses are not on bikes, but they are very slow. Maybe that’s why they need a bicycle, to speed them up. Is this anything like a slow freight train? Obviously we are not talking Kentucky Derby winners here.
To Stop or Not to Stop
By law, one should stop at the STOP sign. At the same time, if you stop at the STOP sign, you are in violation of the law. SO, you’re damned if you do and damned of you don’t.
Cheese Meal
Here is another assumption. Burger King is offering a Double Cheese meal. So whatever comes with the meal comes with twice the cheese. Is cheese the entree? So, if cheese is the main part of the meal, I guess it is almost like getting double the meal. Keep in mind it does not say it is a Double CheeseBURGER. That is what they want people to assume. But what they are offering is a Cheese meal with twice the cheese.
Buy Chicken
Buy Chicken. Wings? Thighs? Sandwiches? Get one what free? Does that mean I need to buy something chicken here, or can I run down the street to the grocery and get chicken and bring it back for my free something?
Beachy BBQ
Well, I know that this fast food restaurant is at the beach, but they are selling sand? And barbecued sand to boot. Talk about a low cost item with plenty of supply. “Hey Jim. We’ve got a ton of customers and we’re running out of sand.” “No problem. I’ll go out the back door and get some.”
Better yet, it is a sand combo. I wonder what they combine it with? Rocks? Are they barbecued as well?
On-Going?
Either they are continuously building something, or someone’s had way too much Viagra.
