Buster Poindexter's Sink

I saw this in a gas station restroom while traveling recently. Click to enbiggen.


The ironic thing is that neither one provided hot water; both only produced cold...

Call To Action

In what comes as a shock to me (what with all the weirdness in the world), I am out of source material for What The Foto.  If anyone sees something WFToto-worthy, snap a pic and send it my way with whatever commentary you think is appropriate.  The email address is: WTFotoPics [at] outlook [dot] com.  I look forward to seeing all the strangeness that I know is out there.

The People's Candidate

I saw this sticker on a store window whilst walking downtown in our fair capital city.


There is just so much going on here.  First, why is he dressed as Santa Claus? He loves the whole world as is evidenced by the fact that he is "Approved by All Gods".  I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what "Coming From The Back Door" means.  He parties by himself which is "In The History Books, Check & See".

For those who are not familiar with Mr. Steinmann, he is a perpetual candidate.  This year he was on the Democratic primary ballot for governor.  In 2014, he was running as a Republican for the U.S. House of Representatives.  You can check out his illustrious career, as well as the best candidate photo ever, here.  Oh, and he used to live two doors down from Frankie.

Please Don't Mock, Give A Sock

Frankie and I had breakfast at a small diner a couple weeks ago and I saw this sign on top of the pastry case.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


I have to assume that this is a real charity that is asking people to donate socks to those in need.  Personally, I think there are other pieces of clothing which could be considered more important (even in the foot region). However, I would never stand in the way of someone doing good work so if you have any extra socks, I know where you can send them.

Okay Folks, Show's Over... Nothing To See Here

Regular contributor Shu sent this my way.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


Chief Wiggum has been reassigned to traffic duty in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. Unfortunately, there was an accident right after I snapped this photo, but Wiggum was quick to the scene.
"Hey, let's dig through the rubble! Gather around, everybody! Don't be shy, gather around!"

You No Come!

Frankie and I saw this a couple weeks ago.  Click the picture to enbiggen.



The owners of this restaurant must be extremely excited about being closed.  They're closed every Sunday!  And from July 2 - 6!  For 5 days!  To be fair, I've worked in food service for the first 12 years of my working career and I was always happy to have a day off.

Tonya Sue Wilson was a beautiful person


On Monday, July 4, my sister Tonya passed away.  She was a mother, grandmother, daughter and sister.  She always had a smile on her face.  She never complained.  She made life better for everyone who knew her.  I will miss her always.

It's The Fingers At The Top I Find Funniest

I'm sorry for being in absentia lately, I was traveling two weeks ago and ill last week.  Excuses, excuses.

Today's submission comes from our newest field correspondent Ring-Leader Lemur.  He captured this picture on the way down to the last float trip.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


Why not slip in to Uranus?  You'll find some nice fudge. Maybe you want to get a Uranus tattoo.  No matter how you get into Uranus, I'm sure you'll nice it a cozy place that you'll never want to leave.

Maybe They're Selling The Air

I saw this at a major pharmacy chain recently. Click the picture to enbiggen.


 It is a container (presumably) used for mixing drinks to take with you.  Seems nice.  It's capacity is 28 ounces.  That is the key piece of information here.  Why?  Let's zoom in a bit.


Yes, the shelf label helpfully does the math to provide the per ounce cost of capacity.  Which is handy information to know.  If you want a 36 ounce container, that'll be $12.85.  Want a gallon? It'll cost $45.70.

Either Brilliant Or Terrible Advertising

I just walked out and took this picture at a nearby intersection.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


In case you can't make out what it says, it reads "Mowing" with a phone number.  My first thought was that no one would consider using them if they can't even provide upkeep for their sign.  However the more I thought about it, the tall grass might work for them, psychologically: "My goodness look at that tall grass.  My lawn is getting a bit tall as well.  And, conveniently, here is a number to call."
