Is It My Birthday?

I saw this at a local liquor store.  Click to enbiggen.


I've seen a number of these coin pusher machines around.  The concept is that you drop in a quarter in hopes that it lines up perfectly to push other quarters off, that you then get to keep.  It is obviously a game of skill and in no way gambling. I've seen them with names like "Silver Falls", "Silver Strike" and "The Royal Treasure".  This one is called "Bonus Hole".  Why it is called "Bonus Hole" I do not know, but "Bonus Hole" it is.  "Bonus Hole".

Line Breaks Change Meaning

We have more from Costa Rica coming but I found this pic that I look a couple weeks ago and it needed to be seen.  You may click the pic to enbiggen.


Of course this was at one of those tchotchke-laden crappy decoration stores.  Please direct your attention to the smaller sign in the middle.  I have to believe the intent is a riff of the Wizard of Oz, as in "Come in, my pretties".  However, the placement of the words have turned it into a completely different offer.
