Sign Interpretation:

Billy (in slow motion): “Throoww me the ballll, Bobbyyy.”

Bobby: “I caaaann’t, Biillly, I have nooo shoulderrrrs.”

Billy: “Welll, thenn, I think our gaaame has reached a dead ennnd.”

    We were kidded about the sign on our rural road “SLOW CHILDREN AHEAD”. My sis and I were the only two children on the road, but the barn was across that road from the house and guess where we liked to play. That sign could have used just a little punctuation, but was more fun the way it was. Yes, I have a photo of it, late 1940s.

    A well-written interpretation, Mitch. I often looked for those slow children, but I just missed them. Yep, who dreams these signs up? Also, how does the highway department make those unruly Deer cross at those little yellow signs?

    not sure where the sign came from, but it is actually telling them that there are children on the road, there is not a safe shoulder to pass by them with and depending on the area, some ditches are deep which is another attempt to keep from getting kids killed. Guess it depends on the area. On the plus side, the maker had a heart and very little room 😉 It kind of works like Twitter…except you can’t do a second page post 😉

    “Oh yeah? Well, you’re so slow you’re still running from the glacier!”
    “Well, at least I have shoulders! No wonder your toga falls off!”
    “Guys, can we get off the elephants? I can’t feel my butt!”

    This is hysterical. Why can’t I get myself into the habit of coming here everyday, and blogging every week? Why can I not just be as diligent with my writing as I am with my Bible study?. Pray for me. Thanks. And I so appreciate your humor and your talent. Blessings on this Friday in August. ☮️💜✝️

    There is a sign posted on the field that states: ONLY CHILDREN WITH PARENTS MAY USE. Sounds discriminatory against orphans, doesn’t it?

    Reminds me of the two old guys with the sign in the yard “The end is near”. No one was coming back after driving by so one said to the other,” maybe we should change the sign to “the bridge is out”
