Advertisement Sign

Outside of Bangor, Michigan, there is a bowling alley. It’s called Lariat Bowling Alley with an image of a lasso on the sign. Having lived out west for many years, I pictured what cowboy bowling might look like: They’d swing their lariats over their heads and see how many pins they could rope in.

"Kick Me" Signs

Decades ago, it was funny (to some people) to tape a sign to someone's back saying, "Kick me."

As my husand drove through town the other day, it seemed like every half a block someone pulled out in front of us, and not very safely, either. He commented, "I someone must have put a sign on our front grill reading, "Turn in front of here. NOW."

Watch out for Angels

Driving through Plainwell, Michigan, last week, my husband and I noticed a car with the advertising on it: "Angel Pest Control."

My husband and I laughed as he elaborated: "I bet they're very busy this time of year. Those angels can get rather pesty around now."

Limited Sight Sign

I saw this road sign yesterday -- it reads: "Limited Sight Distance."

Another Funny Road Sign

A road sign (actually, a billboard) in Chicago area:

Your wife is hot.
Time to get your AC fixed.

This was an ad for a Four Seasons... I think. We drove past it in Chicago-I-94 traffic.

Another Funny Road Sign

While passing through Chicago today, we noticed a road sign which read: BRIDGE REHAB.

Of course, we were travelling with traffic, too quickly to read the finer print below it. My husband thought it was a very scary thought -- like, bridges on drugs.

My piggy-back thought was wondering if they (the bridges) mess with the "Bridge May Be Icy" signs when no one's looking. Or maybe they (the bridges, again) are actually the ones who knock over those orange cone markers.

Scary!

Another Michigan Road Sign

There's a road sign in Kalamazoo which reads:

"Complete left turn when traffic clears."

Um... yes.

I like my husband's response to the sign: "That takes the fun out of it!"

Speaking of Road Signs

Life is difficult for literate people.

Signs in Northern Michigan

I love the rustic north. People there simply tell things like they are.

My favorite road sign is "Do not pass when traffic is in opposing lanes." Wonder who in the world did something stupid to have THOSE multiple signs over the north?

My favorite billboard sign is near Traverse City, in Michigan's "pinky." It advertizes a mental care facility for (elderly) men: "Like deer camp, only tidier."

Yeah for the Michigan wilds.
