Relax. It's Just A Wet Floor.

I saw this sign (cone? standee?) while at a national fast food chain. 


I'm not sure that guy in the triangle slipped.  He appears to be just chillin'; kicked back and legs crossed.  I thought about drawing a couch in there with a Sharpie but I have absolutely no artistic skills.

Maybe You Should Retrace Your Steps

One of our favorite field correspondents, Lord Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq., sent this to me recently.  Clicken to enbiggen.


He writes:
I saw this in the local paper.  It was an article on recognizing the signs of Alzheimer's disease.  I think confusion and repeating oneself were on the list also.

RIP, Rocky Raccoon

BeerGirl and I went to the Soulard farmers' market a while ago when we saw this sign.  Click to enbiggen.


There is a lot to unpack with this sign but what I am most curious about is how many times they were asked "Hey, do you have raccoon meat?" that they were compelled to put up a sign.  I guess they finally got tired of having to say "For the last time, YES."  And who knew that there were so many farmers' market patrons clamoring for raccoon meat.  We chose not to peruse their wares.

Finally. Clothing Tag Humor.

BeerGirl bought a dress off the interwebs and when it arrived, she found this.


I do have to say, it would be a very ineffective napkin.

What we have here is a box of Sugar In The Raw, 2 lb. box.  Please note the best by date: 06/21/2387A.  I had no idea that sugar would stay good for several centuries but, as a student of life, I'm always learning new things.

Tom Tucker's Son's Parking Space

Today's contribution comes from longtime correspondent, Shu.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


He writes:
Parking space at a pharmacy in New Bern, N.C. If anyone can think of any definition for this sign, be my guest. But you can't park here.

It's Not The Size Of Your Ticket...

I saw this sign in a local parking garage recently and something about it caught my eye.  You may click the picture to enbiggen.


The wording on it is just fine but that icon in the upper right seems off.  Is this place issuing poster-sized tickets?  I've never seen one that takes two hands to carry.  Perhaps that is the international symbol for parking ticket and I've just never seen it before. So many questions.

Nothing Creepy Here. Please Move Along.

I showed up to work the other day and saw this in the business next door.  Click to enbiggen.


I'm sure there is a perfectly logical explanation of what that is and why it's sitting in a chair in the lobby but I sure don't know what it would be.  Also, I was the only one in the office that morning so I seriously thought about just leaving.  That thing is no longer there so I don't know if it was taken somewhere or is currently roaming the city happily killing children.

Intimates For Proto-Furries

I usually don't reveal the name of the location where I take pics but this one will be an exception: I saw this at Wal-Mart.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.


So much to work with here.  There's the creepy panda thing on the right, Jack Skellington all the way to the left, the general weirdness beside those.  But let's focus on the on in the center; the Mrs. Potatohead.  Complete with eyes.  Even if it was not located under a sign claiming its intimacy, it would still have shown up here.  It is just so disturbing.
