and by "you" we mean other people


Thanks to Jim who spotted this one this morning. Evidently, they may or may not come to you. Or somebody said that they do. Or something.

"Our Coffee"


Cafe Caribe
Supreme Selection
Coffee for the Latin Taste
"Our Coffee"
 
Our Coffee

I'm sure that it would become "My Coffee" if I purchased it. But for now it's "Their Coffee".
I found myself wishing that the words "Latin Taste" would have been in quotes.

"you" better be "careful"


thanks to reader Joy who sent this one to me today. I usually try to avoid more than one post in a day, but this was too good and I was too impatient.

Joy adds these two things:
1. The sign is not for "me" or my "dog." Although I do have one.
2. My favorite part of the sign actually has nothing to do with the quotes but the clarification (which, it seems, is neccesary) that reads in tiny writing "yes. you."

I didn't see that second thing without Joy's help, and now I love it more. Killer.

two in one day? "crazy!"


frequent contributor Jon sends me a photo of this sheriff fan which says on the back "serving our community." Nicely spotted in downtown athens.

So, not really serving? not really a community? not really ours? All good questions...

actually you can use quarters also


thanks to Alisa who found this one at Gypsy Hill Park duck pond. She says "I actually have no idea what they're trying to communicate to me with that message. " Me neither, Alisa.

maybe what they really mean is you can use other coins "only" if you call them "nickles."

(I'm jealous of Alisa for her experience which included unneccesary quotation marks AND ducks, two things of which I am very fond.)
