Everywhere a Sign

I've been collecting random photos on my phone and camera. You may recall that this all started with a picture I took of a sign that was posted at the Little 5 Points BP gas station advertising "free squeezes" (for a refresher, see my blog entry of 1/27/08). Since then, I've been snapping pictures, trying to figure out what to do with them. Here are just a few of those "signs" (and you may have to click on them to enlarge them so that you can see them better). I know, after 5 years of doing this blog, you'd think I'd know how to format the page and the pictures.



A SIGN YOU CAN SIT ON THE TOILET WITHOUT FEAR OF COOTIES:
This first one was outside of a restaurant. There was no advertising about the restaurant style or their food - only that the restrooms were sanitary. I thought this one was both funny and odd. And while I was curious, we didn't end up eating there.

A SIGN OF BALANCE... HAPPINESS, HARMONY AND CLOG-FREE DRAINS:
My camera phone didn't capture the full essence of this one. It's three, framed wall hangings that grace the unisex restroom at my hair salon. Because I'm at the beauty parlour once per month, I get to laugh at these regularly (and also get my People magazine fix). One has the Chinese character for harmony, another has the character for happiness, and the last one assumes you have no character at all by reminding you that there will be neither harmony nor happiness if you dare flush anything but toilet paper.




A SIGN YOU MAY NEED TO GO TO YOUR HAIR SALON MORE THAN ONCE PER MONTH:
My cashier at the downtown Decatur Kroger was OBVIOUSLY mistaken. I'm not even close to earning senior rewards am I? I mean, I'll take the discount and all, but is it going to mess up my Karma? Should I have told her I wasn't a senior? Would she have even believed me if my shopping spree happened to occur when I was in desperate need of a Miss Clairol appointment?



A SIGN YOU MIGHT DRINK TOO MUCH:
If your kitchen counter looks like this, you may have a problem. Oh wait, this was the New Year's eve aftermath so I think we can rule out a problem. Who's with me on this one? Probably the same people who have no problem implementing the "it's noon somewhere" rule on a regular basis.


A SIGN YOU MIGHT SMOKE TOO MUCH:
Or, "a sign you are trying to blow up yourself and your mother-in-law" - you be the judge. This is a photo I took while on a stop along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Yes, that's right - mountains, clean air, gentle breezes, a glass of pinot noir, a portable oxygen tank, and a cigarette. Sounds like a good combination to me.

A happy St. Patty's day to everyone and don't forget, the first day of spring is less than one week away!!!
