I love signs.
I like anything that has a message on it.........because I do enjoy the artwork and wordage on walls, billboards and bumpers. I catch myself 'reading' more into a simply worded sign all the time.
There are the obvious screw-ups.........There was an autobody shop that touted having your cars computer checked out with the shop's 'analizer'.
Or the sign at a car lot that said, "Trader Vic's Miracle Cars, If it's a good car, it's a miracle."
As kids, the ultimate 'slam' was laughing at someone's ride as a "trader vic special"?

A few days ago, I was in the car trying to get back from the drug store when I came up behind a car with a bumper sticker that said, "UNICORNS = JOBS".
Hokay.........
I looked for other bumper sticker like the '26.2, I brake for bikers, Dog is my co-pilot'......nope, nothing.
So I LOOK AGAIN at the UNICORNS = JOBS sticker and wonder what Apple Computers had to do with unicorns....
Nope, it still don't make sense, so I go back and look again.
--------------------
In the few seconds in between seeing the sign the first time, thinking about it and then going back to re-read it?
Someone removed the 'c' and 'r' from the equation.
UNIONS = JOBS.
Nothing to do with Apple computers or unicorns.
So, now my thoughts are with what happens to the unicorns that are unemployed?
And people who have poor reading comprehension?
