signs of the times

It's been a very long time since I had a good ole grammar grump. This one I've been sitting on for more than six weeks, waiting for a time when I remembered AND was sitting near the computer.

When I shot this, there was a man in a yellow hard hat mixing cement in front, and I deliberately avoided looking at him so I wouldn't see the what a weirdo look.

This one doesn't really have any incorrect grammar but it also tickled my funny bone -- from the bathroom of the Nova Scotia inn I stayed at not long ago:
bathroom-0008

And finally, another treat from Nova Scotia, with many thanks to Mad for telling me about it:
bathroom-0081

The top one would make a great blog header.

Ooh, you're so right! If anyone wants to use it for a blog header, comment here or email me. We may even be able to customize it specially...

Every morning when I went to the bathroom I had a snicker at the "don't flush your unflushable crap, city folk" sign.

Mr. Pitt does not look impressed with that third sign.

What an idea. Tonight, while my husband sleeps, I am posting Angelina Jolie with a sign that says, "Put down the toilet seat". Perhaps, I'll post Cameron Diaz with "take out the garbage", and a playboy centerfold by the washing machine so my husband will visit it more often and maybe remembers to haul his dirty laundry there with him. Oh and the things I could do with some top heavy scarecrows around the yard.
