Signs of the TimesIt’s Important to Think Ahead

Signs of the Times

My favorite sign ever was painted on a shop window in Canterbury, England. It said, “Sex Aids for Ferrets!” Only upon drawing nearer did I see the small print beneath it that read, “Not really, but we do have some great deals on guitars.” I hurried in! Some signs inform us, some misinform us, but the best signs restore our faith in humanity by reminding us that as long as we have hope, love, and sarcasm we’ll get by.

    Love them.
    How about…Thank you God (or whoever you want to thank) for giving us language and sarcasm to make it useful!

  2. Liz says:

    Thank you for the laughter. My top favourite was the dog named Shark. 🤣🤣🤣

  3. RasmaSandra says:

    Thank you for helping me laugh into the weekend.

  4. Fabulous selection of signs, Mitch. I can really relate to the hilarious one that says, “I just did a week’s worth of cardio after walking into a spider’s web” because I’ve done that more than once. 🙂

  5. Great selection! 😄

    Love these ! all funny, the alcohol ones, and the biscuits-cookies one. . haha. . The broccoli one brought to mind when George Bush said- I don’t like broccoli and I don’t have to eat it,- because I’m President’ ( or words to that effect) . …then First Lady Babs made him take it back, because it was a bad example to children

  7. Jeff says:

    These are hilarious. Except for the last one, of course, which is great advice. Hard to pin a favorite, but it might be the one about soy milk, because I’ve been learning Spanish for about a year.

  8. These are all brilliant! I also love the “shark” one! 😂😂😂

  9. sashiengland says:

    Your signs juggled my funny bone good!

  10. I am still snorting over the kung fu fighting one (yes, like you, I’m of that age where I know the song too well 😂 )

  11. colinmcqueen says:

    All brilliant, but the Kung Fu Fghting one is tops!

  12. peterspetra says:

    yes, make America grate again… your selection of phrases made me smile.

  13. Mitch, you never fail to amuse, So much fun and truth in some of them. Just had to add them to my favorite funnies.

  14. Great signs. I just saw the video. Alcohol, we gotta talk. Thanks, Mitch.

  15. These are great — especially that first one about the dog named shark.

  16. I like the cheese one — “Make America grate again” and I don’t even eat cheese, but it made me laugh!

  17. Willie Torres Jr. says:

    The dog named shark had me laughing so hard… 🤣😂

    A nice collection.

    lol these are hilarious

  20. daisy says:

    Amazing selection!👏👏👏

  21. “Because no great story started with someone eating salad…”
    I don’t know, Mitch. The recent outbreak of Cyclospora cayetanensis on lettuce may render that claim untrue now.

  22. These are all fantastic! Thanks for starting my morning with a good chuckle!

  23. bruce@ssa says:
