Spotted on West 14th Street. Hey, for the price of an iPad you can rid yourself of that pesky spouse.
What is this world coming to?

Water Station
This photo was sent to me from someone who spotted it in, of all odd places, a VA cemetery in Florida.
I might be at a loss for words on this one, except but to give it the seal of MFTA approval.

Bathers with Diarrhea?!
This is an actual sign. It does not come from one of those sign generator websites that say things like ‘Merry Christmas from an Atheist’. Adding to the outright hysterical nature of this, it was sent to me via text from my most self-described germaphobic friend.
Her original question was, “Would you go swimming in this pool? We are at a resort in Alabama.” Wanting to give full respect to the residents of that fine state I would just like to ask y’all… “WHAT THE HELL?” The next question from my horrified friend was, “What do you think the ‘etc’ is. My answer was, “Leprocy”
Um… duh!
Ok, so let’s review this one. How do we actually verify whether the bather in question has diarrhea? Do we follow every living soul into the bathroom and wait? Now those with skin diseases and lesions, although they would be quite easy to pick out in a crowd I am thinking A) sitting in the sun by the pool might not be on the top of the list of their activities and B) the chlorine would probably hurt like hell so they would most likely not be inclined to go for a dip.
Now the ‘etc.’ crowd? They are going to be REALLY hard to police.
I suppose they needed to cover all the bases. You know, because most upscale resorts have all sorts of problems with this sort of thing.

Tows By Us
I love this sign. Hey, our grammar sucks but we can hook up a car for $95 bucks and take it where ever your little heart desires.
I am just wondering, is anyone else amused by these things when they see them? I mean, you don’t have to whip out your phone and take a picture or anything. You don’t even have to point it out to anyone. I just want to know if you do come across something like this, do you laugh? Or smile?
Or is it just me?

Check Stalls for Feet
A big thank you to Susan M for this great shot from the bathroom at Madison Square Garden. I do so love bathroom messages. Here is one from a stall in the mall and another from The Nitty Gritty in Madison, WI.

Body Man Needed
Now, here is a creative alternative to all those impersonal dating sites. Why not just hang a sign on the fence in front of your house with a simple statement of qualifications?
Note this body man was not ‘wanted’, he was ‘needed’.

Keep Calm and Carry On
Sitting at my desk today this shot came through in an email from a friend who always seems to capture the essence of my day. It is the more civilized version of ‘Everyone Calm the Fuck Down’ which would not be all that appropriate hanging in someone’s office like this was.
I particularly love the crown. It gives it a regal sort of directive that would make me feel foolish if I did not obey. You know, because I am so reverent and all in real life.
My friends, I know sometimes the world is on fire and it seems like things are just a little more frenetic than we would like them to be. Kind of like your hair is standing on end and you are running in circles getting nowhere. But panic never helped the situation. So everyone, please…
Keep calm
and
Carry on.

Love it or Get the Hell Out?
Talk about overzealous patriotism. I am not sure what would possess someone to paint this on the back of their truck. Do we really need more hostility on the road? Do we need to shove the U. S. of A. down the throats of immigrants, visitors or citizens for that matter?
Is is not enough to simply ‘like’ this country. In this era of facebook the word ‘like’ has a pretty positive connotation. It crosses the board of things we love, like, just simply think we are aligned with…
I felt compelled to wait to see who got into this truck. But then I was a little afraid that if I did not love the shirt he was wearing he would have told me to get the hell out of the parking lot.
Yeesh!

Sometimes the king…
… is a woman.
I thought the saying was, ” If the Queen had balls she would be King”.
But this sign was found somewhere in the Village and many a queen has balls there, so I suppose this clarified it all.
My daughter sent me this picture on my phone late last night. I thought this was some performance art or protest that she was passing on the street and found it quite amusing.
Until this morning when it became infinitely more comical when she told me this was a sign that she and her friends found in the garbage and it was actually them who were holding it up for her to take the picture.
Yup, this one is my kid for sure. There is no denying that!

Well, if that’s the case, then this is the place for you.

What more can you ask for?
That’s right, a bar!
This could be the most perfect place on earth.
