FURTHER STEPS WILL BE TAKEN

In an office:

Outside a secondhand shop:

WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?

Some of these are...priceless.

I like "the bull charges." It's like that joke about the devil and Jesus doing a computer programming contest for final control of the universe, and the devil loses in the end because the computers get struck by a bolt of lightning and "Jesus saves."

Or that line from "O Brother": Remember, Jesus saves, but George Nelson withdraws!

I'd forgotten about the "Jesus Saves" joke. Classic.
Here's an additional one for you: there is a sign outside of Evan's school where the buses park that has been there since the beginning of the year that reads: No stoppin or parkin. A practical joke, or is KY education as bad as some think?

That's funny. My all time favorite sign is still a McDonald's sign in front of the McDonald's near my house. It said:

Now Hiring
Closers

But when I drove by it the next day, some practical joker had stolen the "C" so that it read:

Now Hiring
losers

I wonder how many applicants that version brought in. And were any of them hired?
