the story behind the pics

the first is one i made awhile back on the church sign generator just so you can get the gist of how it looked. the 2nd one is of the actual sign luckily i had my camera on me yesterday coming into work

ok so the sign is from the howard johnson hotel here in the town i work in (hanover, pa). the first sign was sabotaged when the sign was suppose to read "FREE MATRESS' AND BOX SPRINGS" somebody rigged it only on one side but it then read (and it was all staggered too ) this happened back last fall '06


the 2nd sign was from yesterday (5/28). i saw it on my way in to work and just had to turn around to take the pic the sign was suppose to read "FORMERLY HOWARD JOHNSON" ....since it's now an Econolodge hotel.....yesterday morning it read



i'm amazed that somebody was able to do this since it's right on the main drag here in town and it's a pretty heavily traveled road and it was only on one side

 

 

 

Haha. Reminds me while I was going to school I worked at a grocery store doing stock. We had to change the sale sign on sunday nights. The store mgr. always gave us a list of stuff to put on the sign. So we changed it. When we come in Monday the store mgr has us come in his office and tells us to go back and fix the sign. We were like what do you want us to change it to? He said take this and go look at the sign. He handed us the letter "T." We were a little confused and went outside and stood back and read the sign.

"Ass Roast #.##lb."

We died laughing. I don't think I could have came up with that if we were trying. I guess we were in a hurry. It was cool though the mgr never did fuss.

 

I once saw a sign outside a Hair Salon that had been changed to read:

SPERM JOB
$26.99

 

I once saw one that read

"Stop Stealing Our Let "
