How about funny stuff

raceman · Apr 10, 2005

I will start this and if it takes off, Great! If not some of you may see the humor I saw and seem to always see.

Awhile back there was a thread about Odd things we have carried. How about funny things we see? I love humor and I see humor in everything. If I did not, wow, who knows.

I will start with two that struck me very funny and I amy add more later if this takes off.

Saturday coming back from Charlotte on 75, I think, in Tn. about the 141 on North bound side. There is a XXX Adult place on the right of highway. It says Toys, Videos, you know all the typical smut. Well right above it someone who has rented a billboard, most likely not knowing where it would be placed, or maybe they did know, put up a big ole sign for home made Fudge. Ha! I almost went of the road.

On a run to KC I was on 70 west and somewhere in Ill. on the right side of highway there was a place for Chainsaw Crafts and just before that was the Elvis Lives joint. Who buys or pays for this stuff. I also found it very odd that on a stretch of 70 just before St. Louis, I think over on the left was a bunch of billboards in a row. I would guess maybe 10 one right after the other. I think 75% of them were for ANNs Bras. Man o Man! That part of the country must buy a boat load of Bras in order for that place to pay for that many billboards. Now what I cracked myself up thinking about is they most likely do buy a lot because, well it is the Show Me State. You think they tear them up? Come on this stuff is funny!

Just a side note Raceman ... if you add anything else to your tag, EO is going top start charging you for hard drive space on their server!

P.S. - you have nothing listed about pets or your favorite food?

Have a great one!

Me and my wife stopped at that Flying J in Des Moines/IA this past Thursday to take a shower and eat a bite, since we havn't seen real food in days and could not reek each other anymore...(just kidding)

While gathering our stuff to go in, we watch this older guy with that tractor, hauling a camper. He pulls out a towel, a shirt, some pants, all needly folded and a tackle box...and hits the shower!:7 :7 :7

Several years ago in the town I lived in, there was a sign in front of a building: "Planned Parenthood, Please Use Rear Entrance." I always thought that was one way to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

OldProf, That one I too have seen. Maybe not the one you are refering to but I have seen that same sign. Never thought of it that way but now that you have pointed it out I have to wipe the tears from my face. I almost fell out of my chair.

Also please take not I reduced the garbage from my tag line. Mainly because I am simply an OTR O/O at this point. No more interesting life changing events should take place. All I will be doing is laughing at the real life humor I see each day. No more crying because my drivers are broke down, not running, need a ComCheck, want a raise, want a new truck, think I am making a fortune. Now it is just me looking for loads and humor. I will just enjoy this business as I meant to when I entered it.

Different things strike different folks funny. I've always thought it was hillarious when as ya enter a 14 mile construction zone of one lane traffic, the vehicle I get behind is that of one towing a horse trailer. =)

Heres one that cracked me up. I can't tell you where i saw it at,but it was a bill board for a resturant and gas station. It said EAT AND GET GAS...Butch.:7 :7 :7

My all time favorite one in KY says "Tattoos while you wait" at (I think) Tattoo Charlie's.

I mean come on how else can you get a tattoo.

I bet Eat And Get Gas was on US 31 in IN somewhere between Kokomo and Peru . On US 431 in Central City , KY ( can't go there over 11'6'' height )is a moving company's sign that says " moving , storage , and creating " . I've often wonder what they create . Makes me think of what " Reader's Digest " said a school kid wrote on a report .. " A census taker is a person that goes from home to home increasing the population . "
My mother-in-law was in the hospital . I went to the men's room and saw that a vending machine sold condoms and No-Doz . Is that for the guys that roll over and go to sleep after ??
My wife hasn't figured out how to react to the bumper sticker on my truck " Driver carries no cash . He's married " If you CB'ers see a White Dodge Dually with that sticker on the tailgate give me a shout .
