Funny Hand-Written Signs

Have you ever read a sign that was so absurd it made you speechless? I can think of a few I've seen in my lifetime. It's absolutely crazy what people will write and display on a piece of paper.

Years ago, my family and I lived in Osyka, MS. It's a tiny dot on the map that consists of a tractor lot and a country store called "Ray's". We shopped at Mr. Ray's store when we didn't have the gas to make the drive to the nearest supermarket. Mr. Ray was an old, grouchy fellow. His store was his livelihood. Taped to the back of his cash register, at eye level to the customers, was a hand-written sign. This is what it said:

"Do you enjoy pain? Would you like to meet Elvis? Do you want to know what it feels like to die? If so, then write Mr. Ray a bad check."

What's amazing to me is the fact that we saw this sign EVERY SINGLE TIME we shopped at this store. We were so used to seeing it that we were oblivious to the fact that it was a direct threat on the life of every customer. 

I don't know how old Mr. Ray never got in trouble for displaying that ominous sign. Good thing we always paid him cash...

Wanna hear another?

Once when I was stopped at a red light, I noticed the car in front of me had a hand-written sign taped to the back windshield. This is what it said: 

"Do not allow [some girl's name] to borrow money! She borrowed $300 from me 4 months ago and still hasn't paid me back. Consider yourself warned."

Now THAT'S what I call getting the word out! LOL. I wonder if they ever got that debt settled...

How about one more?

Earlier this year, I had to make my own hand-written sign for our mailbox. 

"Please do not let your dog shit under our mailbox. I'm tired of stepping in it. Thank you, Vickie Heully"

Because sometimes you just have to get right to the point. And that, my friends, is the power of hand-written communication.
