Signs and One Lucky Burro

I ask you, Safeway Gas Station, why do I have to be responsible? I don't even live here!



And what? It's so intriguing. I like my coffee with a little mystery, don't you?

Actually, I don't like coffee.



In Texas, we call it "Mexican Food."



Lucky the Burro was probably the main attraction for kids at Colorado's Cave of the Winds. What's that in your barrell, Lucky?



Oh. Maybe Lucky the Burro has some grown up fans as well.

West Coast Bumper Stickers

I'd like to begin by pointing out that these two bumper stickers were on the same vehicle. From California, but I suppose you didn't need me to tell you that.


This is a bit unsettling for me. Excuse me, Person, I hope you realize that this is not actually a legal document. It's just a sticker. If you really want to hunt terrorists, please join the military.



Yeah, C'mon California!

In Honor of Sabrina

A few years ago, my friend Sabrina and I started to email eachother pictures of funny signs that we encountered out in the world. She is the one who introduced me to Stick Figures in Peril, the genre of signs that are meant to serve as warnings or directions. But really, many of them simply serve as stick figure comedy. Sabrina has a hilarious blog called Signage Gold that is dedicated to making fun of signs. In honor of Sabrina, I am posting these Stick Figures in Peril from our Colorado trip. Enjoy!



Stick figure in peril of losing half of his house while lying on the floor with his head in a corner.




Stick figure in peril of sprouting a mushroom-shaped head while bouncing awkwardly between huge circles.




Stick figure in peril of being pelted with rocks because the people who made the sign posted above him did not understand that you put things in quotations when you don't really mean them. "Oops."

Funny Things on the Way to Colorado

We saw a lot of funny things on this trip. Maybe they were actually funny, maybe they were only funny to us. Either way, I'm going to share some here, but just one or two at a time. It's just too much to post all at once... I want the joy to last a while! (I'll enjoy it, even if you don't.)




When I saw this sign, I thought, "Wow! This place must have some classy bathrooms, if the Chevron folks want to come all the way over here to use them." But then I found out that this is not the case. Which left me thinking, "Just how disgusting ARE the Chevron bathrooms that the people over there think that THIS is an improvement?"




Maybe Sherwin Williams should rethink this logo and slogan. You know, with the whole environmental movement and all.

Oh, and notice the driver noticing ME taking his picture and laughing. As usual. I am SO not sneaky.

Is there some joke I am missing here?

Yep. That's really what it says.

Someone doesn't know M from N, and they're VERY confident that they DO,
-OR-
they think they're being clever.

Either way, I find it hilarious and had to take a picture. Because that's what I do. I wonder what that customer thought as I pulled into the parking lot, took the picture, and drove away while laughing hysterically.

I'm such a jerk.

I'm going to have to disagree.

This guy's tag says "Realistic!"

Really? Is that the actual color of brachiosaurus? The texture? No?

Well then, they must be referring to the size.
