I’m not so sure. I think God is very serious. Let’s debate it!
But I guess I also just feared getting in trouble if they found out it was me that left the sign, but I do make and leave other things at school, though–the army sends me recruitment brochures (as if!) and I take out words like “well-respected career” and “soldiers” and replace them with “death,” “child-killers,” and “violence,” and I replace the URLs with Christian pacifist websites. I do leave those in the lobby, and I suspect people know it’s me but it doesn’t bother me as much as the “GOD IS WATCHING YOU” sign.
I got my name from a sign, for a car-dealer, Williams Chevrolet. Wish I had a photo of it, but it is gone now. When I see an business with an unusual name, I am glad my parents did not live across the street from them .
In a town near mine, there is a sign along the road “Park Slow Zone”. I don’t know what happens if you park too fast.
Hey Cran, speaking of putting up signs in toilets, in the church I used to go to we had put up signs on the inside doors of the stalls in the ladies’ room that said, “Make A Joyful Noise!”. I think some of the parishioners were a little offended, but I don’t think God was.
Over the lavatory in a corporate bathroom, someone put a sign saying, “Think!” The next day, a hand written one appeared in the corresponding place nearby that said, “Thoap!”
Sign spotted in the parking lot of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Ben Lomond: “Church Parking Only. Violators will be baptized.”
The sign I always wanted to get a picture of was in the cooking oil section at Harris Teeter in Durham, NC. Right under the olive oil was a sign that said “Fat Free!” My guess is they’d run out of “cholesterol free” signs and figured (wrongly) that “fat free” meant the same thing. I always figured it would be a neat trick if they could do it (fat free olive oil, that is!).
“Children found on the premises after 8.00 p.m. will be sold to the golf club as caddies”
A few years back, two movies were released at more or less the same time. The Capitol cinema (again in Cork) managed to cause outcry amongst the city’s faithful when it advertised the two movies :
Next to the highway which runs between Knoxville, TN, and McGee-Tyson Airport there is a small tattoo shop with a sign out front advertising “Tattoos While You Wait.”
Heh. I honestly hadn’t noticed! It does seem rather strange that I was “inspired” to post a link to that particular image for my 666th post. I think I’ll go see if I can turn someone into a newt…
