In reading the newspaper, watching TV, and especially reading the doom and gloom even spread by some bloggers about the doldrums of the real estate industry and that these are just the "signs of the times" I just have to say I beg to differ. As a matter of fact the signs of the times I have seen have been quite refreshing to say the least.
Sometimes a name change is the best idea!!

Don't drink and make signs....
As you see life is really a bowl of cherries or a bowl of pits if you were hungry. So pay attention to the signs and know that there are those who will laugh, love, and cherish you ALWAYS!!!
HAHA That last sign is bad!
I love your post !!
the "stop sign" is my favorite

Gary, these are the type George Carlin would have amused us with, I like the person sitting in a car wondering if they can turn.. and reading a sign that says No U Turn.. so I guess I can turn? Steve
Hi Gary- Having a college bound son, I got a kick out of the one cllege vs weed. In our days they tended to go together, not an either or!! (Not that I would ever know!)
Gary - My wife and I own a book with one of the best titles I have seen. It's about getting the most out of your reading experience (eye-catching, huh?):
Lynsey: Do not employ drunk sign makers : )
Anne: I am so confused! ; )
Alpine Lakes: With the passing of George Carlin this week, you are so right, these are his type of signs.
Carol: No, of course you wouldn't know about these things! I'll never tell on you : )
Jason: Very good. I am convinced you can write a book on ANYTHING and people will buy it. Kind of like writing a blog and getting points : )
Gotta love it! People are too funny----too much of the time!
Charles: Just keeping your eyes peeled, there's funny stuff all around you.
Those are funny signs. We need to always have a camera handy.
Barbara: You never know when the funny stuff is, well, right there in front of you.
Gary, I am still laughing, those pictures were a riot and some of the BEST I have seen! Surely you don't mind if I email them to a few good friends who need a really good laugh? I have officially declared Friday as my "fun" day, I think you may have as well :) THANK YOU!
Carole: Forward away to your friends on the signs. Yes, Friday is my fun day. And just between you and me and the other 94,000 here, so is Saturday through Thursday ; )
This gave me a good life. Especially after being in an Open house most of the day. Thanks Gary!
This is really funny! Thanks.
Patricia: Relax, it's the weekend!!
Mel: You're welcome. We all need a break!
Gary, Thanks for sharing such all the 'Signs of the Times'..What a fun way to end the week. My favorite is the open range.
Gary, just what was needed after a long week! These are definitely ones to share with friends! Leave it to you to find these. Thanks!
Gary, you made my day with this humor!
Gary - These are really priceless. Thanks for the big*ss grin on my face :-)
Those were great Gary...Thanks!
Gary - Like everyone else these signs really made me laugh. You certainly know how make us laugh and appreciate the things around us.
Hi Gary! I like the tumbling cow sign. I don't think that I have ever seen or heard of anything like that occuring in real life, but the depiction is pretty damn funny!
Gary
It is nice to know we can still have a laugh given the market conditions. I guess it all has to do with how you look at things. Great piece.
by the way, Do you have an outside blog that I can add to my Blogroll ?
Thanks and look forward to reading your thoughts on the world of real estate.
That was ....enlightening? ....funny? Ah....Friday...:) :) Have a great weekend!
Margaret: Open Range is cool. Free range chicken hangout??
Pam: I'll keep working for that smile of yours.
Jim: Great!!
Tom: Love it!!
Joan: You are SO welcome!!
Jennifer: Appreciation is a KEY to happiness. That's why I try to practice it so often.
Steve: Maybe it was a real sign, but what could it mean? Slipping cows on hills?
James: This is my only blog: http://activerain.com/blogs/woltal
Also indexed at Localism: http://localism.com/agents/woltal
Sally: Time to chill out, I agree.
Why do we miss so many signs along the way? These are really fun! I especially like the "OPEN RANGE" which is my kind of humor... in fact, that would be a perfect spot to roast someone... or panhandle... or leave a sign that says 'please close the door when you leave'... hahaha!
Does anybody proofread anymore? They were very funny. Thanks for sharing! :)
Mara: All great comebacks on your part. You are too funny. I thought about that Roast one too.
Debi: The drunk guys not only made that sign but "installed" it. No, obviously they DON'T read!!
I really enjoyed the cow going over the edge. Falling rocks, falling cows, same thing.
Elizabeth: If I ever see a falling cows sign, I know I went down the wrong road : ) Maybe it's an Iowa or Nebraska thing.
How funny Gary. I love the "kids with gas, eat free", and the falling cow sign. No sense in spreading doom and gloom, we're here....thats whats important after-all.
GARY, Hilarious!! I love the illiterate one!!! Thanks for the laugh...
I'm assuming that was actually someone's tombstone otherwise it would have been dumbfart........but what hilarious signs..........we take ourselves - I take myself - way to seriously....I needed some laughter medicine!
Liz: This person going to the grave with that name must have REALLY liked his family heritage : ) Leave it to you to tell him how to "correctly" spell it. I love it!!
Jacqueline: Life is short, smile and laugh EVERY day.
Yvette: Hard to explain on the illiterate one how they made that sign.
Gary, Here's a dilemma....what to do with the dog???
Carol: You are hurting my head :)
These are priceless my friend. I love to see signs that make no sense. There was a sign here at a McDonald's that said no seeing eye dogs. I nearly wrecked laughing at it every time I had to drive past it.
JL: Why would McDonald's do that? Idiotic. You have to wonder where these people's heads are at : )
I am certain that a lawyer had them do it, because rules must be posted in order to be legally enforced. Now, beyond the fact that it is illegal anywhere in the U.S. to deny access to a seeing eye dog, most seeing eye dogs are German Shepards. This means that even if the dog could read, he probably would not understand the sign because it was written in English and not German.
JL: That's right, they should have written the sign in German. Very good.
Hillarious - Had to laugh - Reminds of the fellow that got a ticket for parking where there was a sign that said "No Parking on Grass" and there was no grass to be seen
This was really cute, thanks for a smile this morning!
Bonner: That's pretty bad, getting a ticket in that instance.
Mary: Glad to pass along a smile.
I laughed so hard I literally cried! Thank you !!!!
