Funny signs that you have seen on store windows.

Just for giggles and grins what's the funniest or most unusall slogans/logo's you have seen on store windows? Here are some I recall:

Sign in a butcher shop: Dick's meat,you can't beat Dick's meat. Another butcher shop: 'We will sell no swine,before it's time." Sign on a second day old bread store:
We have your dough(money) Get it? Name of a small Mom & Pop restuarant: Squat & Cluck.(they had some of the best fried chicken I ever ate.)

Signs that should be on every morgue: You kill 'em, we chill 'em. You stab 'em,we slab 'em. We make our riches,putting people in ditches. God knows we are the last to let you down. You plug 'em, we plant 'em.

    Not on a window, Ned, but on the wall of a filling station bathroom, during the 1972 presidential election. Nixon was president, at the time. "Don't change dicks in the middle of a screw, vote for Nixon in 72' "

    One slogan that a rental company had always made me shake my head: "We rent 1001 items including chain saws"

    The oddity being, why single out chain saws among all the possible items?

    And a sign on a small restaurant: "Chinese Food". Nothing else.

    Regarding the morgue signs, I've never seen anything similar to those listed -- I'm pretty certain it's just clever humor by a Borscht Belt jokewriter.

    The autopsy room in the big hospital room where I worked had a regular printed sign "No Food Or Drink Allowed" beneath which some sarcastic path resident had written "Cadavers Excepted".

    And, this is absolute fact, I've seen pals in Houston Homicide wear these t-shirts: On the back, a large cartoon vulture, lurking on a tree branch and looking hungry. On the front, "Houston Homicide -- Our Day Begins When Yours Ends"

    Speaking of T-shirts, Sam, my wife's nephew was a paramedic, and he got a bunch of catalogs from businesses that catered to first responders of all types. One offered a SWAT team t-shirt that pictured a bunch of Keystone Kops looking guys on the front, running down the street in an armored urban assault vehicle with the caption "We don't do drive-bys"- - - - -On the back there's a cartoon of a house with about a thousand bullet holes in it- - - - -"WE STOP!"

    LOL, I guess!

    I think your right on,Sam, I haven't ever actually seen them in a morgue either, thats why I said these should be in a morgue. Anyway,I don't remember were I saw those, a book IIRC. But then again at my age I can't recall what I ate for dinner last night either......:tooth::jester::rotflmao:

    I just thought of a couple of more. When I worked in General Aviation, I saw a sign between two men urinals this is what it said:

    "For those with short stacks, and low manifold pressure,please taxi in close."

    I was looking at an Aviation Supply magazine one day and came across an ad for the company that makes those orange balls you might see attached to overhead power and phone lines. These balls are used a lot in and around big farms where crop dusting is common in the summer. The caption under the orange balls read this:

    "Your balls,saved my life."

    A guy I worked with had a shirt that I loved that had an ad for loc-tite that said "use Loc-tite, or kiss your nuts goodby".

    A local radiator shop (now out of business,) had a sign up out front by the street that said "A Great Place to Take a Leak." Lol

    One of the local eateries in Waycross had a sign that said, "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

    Speaking of T-shirts, when I was with the VFD in my youth, one of the guys from another station was with the DC EOD team for his day job. He often wore a T-shirt that had the DCPD logo on the left front, with "Bomb Squad" underneath. On the back it had "If you see me running, try to keep up!"

    I'm not even sure if I should post this, but I did see someone wearing a t-shirt at the local Walmart with the following words on the front of it.

    In bold letters, were the words "I was so <effing> stupid".

    Below it, in small letters, was "then I broke up with her".

    I was surprised to see something like that in public. I guess the world is becoming more and more crass.

    Understand completely, Robert. Even though some of the signs are imaginary, they're still funny. But the genuine ones, although more rare, are more fun. Graffiti for example, and these are genuine, not just from a joke book:

    My local pub has excellent graffiti. Sure, the usual stuff, but there are also some clever cartoons and genuinely funny but original scribblings. One, a nihlist creation simply said "Black Rags", while a Zen message was "There is a cat in the window".

    Add-on graffiti are often rude and childish, but years back, in a lab bathroom of a college I was attending were 3 graffiti, one beneath the other:

    "Jesus is the answer!"
    "Well, what was the question?"
    "Who is Matty Alou's brother?"

    Back to the t-shirts, the opera company I sang in a few years ago was putting on a production of Mozart's "Don Giovanni". Giovanni (Don Juan) is a bad dude and at the finale, he's confronted by a huge stone statue who drags him down to Hell, accompanied by a bunch of demons (the men's chorus in ghost masks).

    We were however doing a revisionist version, and the director upgraded the story line to show Giovanni as a wealthy aristocrat during the Mexican revolutionary period of the early 20th century. When it comes time for The Don to meet his fate, instead of dragging him to Hell, the avenging stone statue plants Giovanni against a wall, and we in the chorus, not as demons but as commoners, kill him via firing squad.

    So a few days into rehearsals, all of us in the chorus show up with t-shirts "I Shot Don Giovanni". Only 12 of those in existence and a fun inside joke.

    Yea, good one ghostsniper. Again, when I was looking through an Aviation publication, I came across and ad for a company that repairs bladder type,Goodyear BTC-39 rubber fuel cells. Their ad read as follows. "Hartwig fuel cell repair, The best place in the world to take a Leak."

    On a jewelry store window in Vallejo, CA

    Ears pierced while you wait.

    How else are you going to do it?



    I liked the name of a pediatrist just down the street from the jewelry shop: It was Dr. D.O. Durant; now there's a pediatrist with a speciality!

    I thought the "Wishy Washy" laundrymatt said something to me.
