RE: Funny Signs on Businesses, Bill Boards, Etc...Laughter Is Great Medicine!

Hey there Phil...those were so good. I found myself really laughing over them. While it is true that there was a woman in Texas who's name was Ima Hogg, it was also rumored that she had a sister named Ura Hogg, which was not true. But Ima was quite a philanthropist and someone who loved music and the arts. Quote a well known figure in Texas.

Don't you wonder why someone would name their child such a name, even though the name Ima was chosen from one the epic civil war poem that her uncle had written...it's a name that plagued her throughout her lifetime. She passed away in 1975 at the ripe old age of 93, and
her philathropic endeavors live on through the Ima Hogg Foundation which she founded in 1964. She believed in making the money that she and her brothers shared in, work for the benefit of the state of Texas and its residents.

Thanks Phil for your last post. You always have good posts and I enjoyed this one immensely.

Have a super Friday!!!

Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,

Here's a few more that I ran across, not sure if they are actual Signs, but they sure would be appropriate if they were...

Real Signs From Around the World

Pizza shop slogan:
"7 days without pizza makes one weak."

At a tire shop in Milwaukee:
"Invite us to your next blowout."

Door of a plastic surgeons office:
"Hello, can we help you pick your nose?"

At a Towing Company:
"We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows."

On an electricians truck:
"Let us remove your shorts."

In a Nonsmoking Area:
"If we see smoking, we will assume you are on fire, and take appropriate action."

On Maternity Room Door
"Push, Push, Push."

At an Optometrists Office:
"If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place."

On a Taxidermist's window:
"We really know our stuff."

At a Car Dealership:
"The best way to get back on your feet - miss a car payment."

Outside a Muffler Shop:
"No appointment necessary, we'll hear you coming."

On a desk in a reception room:
"We shoot every third salesman, and the second one just left."

In a Veterinarians waiting room:
"Be back in 5 minutes, Sit! Stay!"

In a Restaurant window:
"Don't stand there and be hungry, come on in and get fed up."

In the front yard of a funeral home:
"Drive carefully, we'll wait."

_______________

Have A Happy Week,

Phil

Hi Phil,

Those are great Phil. I can really understand some of them a little too much...like the plumber one. I recently poked a hole in the pea trap under my bathroom sink due to a stubborn clog and pouring way too much chemical stuff down to try to unclog it. Woe....that surprised me...but I got it taken care of without too much of an expense, but that plumbers sign would have been a great one for me to remind me of what to do from the start.

Anyway, loved the quotes and some are so good...like the police station one. Good to see they have a sense of humor.

Have a super weekend!

Cheryl
