199     Some Signs Encountered on the Road of Life

3/26/2021

I did some rearrangement of some of the furnishings in my office/den/library not long ago because I needed a bit more shelf space for my library of books “I can’t bear to be without.”  Okay, I’m probably guilty of channeling my mother, the librarian, who was also the daughter of an English Lit. professor.  But I have to admit that my all too vast collection of books, plays, etc. has made my “COVID confinement” MUCH more bearable than it would have been otherwise.  Anyway, after adjusting the placement of some things (and assembling some more shelves), I find I now have a place for the sign Bonnie gave me a while back.  (See below.)

THAT got me to thinking that it’s been a while since I did a post about signs, so I thought I’d see what I had filed away….
 
This isn’t really a “sign,” I suppose, but seeing it in front of a house in our neighborhood last Yule season made me laugh, so I wanted to share it.  Anybody need a gnome?

As I have confessed that I am fond of fish and chips, I suppose that it’s no real surprise that I enjoyed this sign when I saw it.

I suppose one might find this sign on any college campus bulletin board, but it did make me think, then laugh.  Perhaps you’ll find it amusing, as well.

Ya kinda, haveta think about this one a bit, as well.

Just think about it.  If it doesn’t make you laugh, I’d be surprised.
 
Other signs make me think, but I don’t always achieve understanding.  Here’s an example:
Picture
If you understand this, please explain it to me.  I’d really appreciate it a lot.
 
Speaking of signs which make one think.  How’s this one?
Picture
Other examples of “sign confusion include this one.  Did I call for a cop, or for someone to mow my grass?
Picture
On the other hand, anyone who has ever tried to read a hand-written prescription would understand this one:

And, finally, perhaps the greatest wisdom of the Western world.

Just ask any cat owner.  Don’t ask their CAT, they lie!  (Preferably in the sun.)
 
I expect to return to this theme again, sometime, but I think that’s quite enough of this for now.
 
LLAP,
