I'm sure I am SOMETIMES.

I've told this to R, but I don't think I've told the rest of my minions.

Between Thayer and Salem on Highway 9, there is a set of Burma-Shave-style signs. When read in sequence, they promote memberships in Air-Evac, an air ambulance company.

But if you stop after reading only the first sign, you are presented with an important question.

The first sign says,

"ARE YOU A MEMBER?"

Sign of the Times.

You know those novelty police-tape replicas they sell around Halloweentime every year?

The ones that say "CAUTION ENTER IF YOU DARE" over and over, and you cut off however long a piece you need?

There are some of those up at the local Dairy Queen.

Only they've been cut it the wrong places.

They say "ENTER IF YOU DARE CAUTION."

A bunch of Pentacosts apparently work there. The females always wear these long denim dresses.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

OR . . . you could refrain from capturing them in the first place. DOY!!!

It seems that even *I* am not immune . . .

. . . from Obtuse Sign Syndrome.

Artist's recreations.

Here are a couple of my interpretations of actual signs in the Thayer Area. I assure you they ARE real signs, but are not in places where I can get a good picture of them.

That one is handwritten in Lane's Grocery, beneath something with the post-Apocalyptic title "POOP HOUND." I can't get a picture of it because the people at Lane's are very observant, and I don't want to have to explain to them that I have a hobby of taking pictures of unusual signs and am not overly interested in the POOP HOUND, really.

That one is on the Dairy Queen sign, and the only good vantage point to take a picture of it would be standing in the middle of Highway 63. My art is not something that I am willing to die for at this point.

That is my conception of what the sign at Dairy Queen means.

Points for enthusiasm.

Yet another sign o' the times, taken over the weekend here in Thayer.

SIGNMAKING: So easy a caveman could, and apparently did, do it.

Picture taken yesterday in Thayer, across the road from the McDonald's that used to have a sign that proudly proclaimed "Try our filet-o-fish egg-nog shakes!":

Ugga-Bugga! We make sign! Then we club our women over head and drag them by hair!
