DVD's [sic] for Sale or Exchange

I found this sign on my recent trip to Central America (click to enbiggen). Where to start? First, they exchange 1 for 1, which is a pretty good deal for "Top Quality!" DVDs. Secondly, they carry "Only Action, Horror, Erotic and Science Fiction Movies!!!" I'm not sure how that order was derived, but if it works for them... Finally, I do like the fact that you have to "Come To The Backdoor!" That is clearly the hallmark of a legitimate business.

A Book That Every Young Man Needs to Read

Today's post comes from W of A&W.
This photo (sorry for the quality) is from a book list that a store sent to us for bids. I'm sure the title above the straight edge should be "From WHERE the Wind Blows" but I immediately saw
"Whore".

That's either one loose whore, or she's all about the BJ's.

Expired Cigarettes

Belmonts are the cigarettes of choice in Honduras. If you'll direct your attention to the area below the bar code (which is freaking cool because it has a palm tree and birds in it) you will notice a date (click to enbiggen). This is a "best before" date. I, personally, had never seen an expiration date on cigarettes, but I think they all should take up the practice. You don't want to smoke expired cigarettes; that could kill you.

Ripoffs, Anyone?


So what we have here are some video games: WirelessSports plus, Wireless Fit and (my favorite) Guitar Superstar. Now I cannot be certain, but I think I have seen those same color schemes and fonts used on other products somewhere. I'm sure that is just a coincidence because no one would try to confuse and take advantage the American consumer, would they?

Plaid

Bat provides today's rant. Click the picture to enbiggen.
Not a great photo but notice the plaid seat covers on the back seats... THE ENTIRE INTERIOR is fitted with green and white plaid. There was also a matching bag or purse on the dash. A few questions come to mind. Where does one find an entire plaid car interior cover? Is it a kit? Do you go to Joann's and enter your make & model at the car interior cover kiosk? Why green and white plaid? If going with plaid, why not a plaid that has the car color in it? Or is this a new option for Toyota? Yes, I'll take the mag wheels, 6 disc CD changer and the green-white two color plaid interior... Really? Come on Mr. Toyoda, I know you need to sell some cars but this is wrong. First sticking gas pedals, now plaid interiors...

Ironic or Just Insulting?

Now before anyone complains, I know that dyslexia is a legitimate disorder and I am not making light of anyone's ailments. That being said, really? The Dyslexic Reader? Seems a little cruel and insensitive to me. How about the Anorexic's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet? The Acrophobic's Ladder Sale? The Coulrophobic's Circus?
(Feel free to look that last one up. It's pretty funny.)

Pun-errific

Today's post comes from a new contributor: Mrs. "The Original Fancy" Mac.

This is a picture of a Thai restaurant she saw on one of her many world travels.

They specialize in seafood.
Are the women and children always served first?
I bet they don't serve iceberg lettuce.
Think the kitchen is un-SINK-able?
They treat you like the King of the World.

Feel free to contribute your own puns in the comments. The worse, the better.

Jail Toilet

Field correspondent Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. provides our latest entry.
This view was spotted at a local restaurant. I assume that at some point in the past (or future) the frame was (or will be) covered so as to provide the privacy most people desire when using this device. As it is, it looks like you have to enter a jail cell in order to, uh, eliminate. Maybe this is just an attempt to remind patrons not to drink and drive.

One more for the road...
