The human mind has a need for completion, which often tempts me to take a sign to its logical conclusion. Logical, by the way, does not mean “intended.” I’m fairly sure that the people who wrote these signs would be surprised where their words led me. Here are a few signs and my responses:
SIGN:
Note that the last two words are italicized.
RESPONSE: Loitering in front of someone else’s premises is fine.
SIGN:
What kind of prices?
RESPONSE: How nice to pay low discount prices instead of high discount prices.
SIGN:
Accuracy above all.
RESPONSE: If you lie about your age, this product reveals the truth.
SIGN:
No perc? No perc odor?
RESPONSE: You can have perc odor without the perc? Good to know.
