Signs of the Time

Ah, Maxine, how well you know me as I read a little 'singage' that tickles my funny bone. These are signs coming out of England, and I do enjoy English humor. Ever watch those English sitcoms on television ? If not tune in and have yourself a great laugh.

As one sinage said: Did I read the sign right? Toilet out of order. Please use floor below.

In a laundromat: Automatic washing machines. Please remove all your clothes when the light goes out.

In a London Department store. Bargain Basement Upstairs.

In an Office. Would the person who took the step ladder yesterday please bring it back or further steps will be taken.

In an Office. After tea break staff should empty the teapot and stand upside down on the draining board.

Outside a second hand shop. We exchange anything. Bicycles, washing machines etc. why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain.

Notice in a health food store. Closed due to illness.

Seen during a conference. For anyone who has children and doesn't know it, there is a day care on the first floor.

Tongue in cheek humor. We know the signs meant well or at least the person who made them had good intentions. It is our sense of humor that kicks in and saves the day. I haven't seen any church signs lately but they are usually hilarious. I'll keep my eye open for one or two, meanwhile you go on a hunt and see what is out there to tickle your funny bone. Sometimes it is automobile bumper stickers, or a road sign or two that makes us laugh out loud. So, as you go about your day today look for some one thing that will bring laughter to your eyes.
