Anyone familiar with comedian Bill Engvall’s “Here’s your sign” skits, essentially the gist of the matter is… “stupid people should have to wear signs that say ‘I’m Stupid’, that way you wouldn’t rely on them” he doesn’t do it to be mean, he just points out common, amusing lapses in logic; one time i was out with my son, we were flying a kite, some guy walks up, says “Y’all flyin’ a kite?” “Nope, we’re fishin’ for birds”, here’s your sign he makes a point that no one’s immune to them, not even him… i came out of the mall, i saw a guy standing by his car with a coathanger in the window, and i could not stop myself… “you lock your keys in your car?” he whupped around, “nope, just washed it, gonna’ hang it up to dry” anyway, my point in this setup here, i purchased one of those Lakewood 9" mini high velocity fans, they look like a miniaturized version of one of those industrial fans, i took it out of the box, noticed the Lakewood logo was installed upside down, i was just about to get my screwdriver to undo the grille and flip it right side up, then i noticed… the _handle_ was on upside down as well, what sort of shoddy piece of crap was thi… wait a minute here… i flipped the stand over to the other side and everything was right side up… Here’s my sign 😉 what minor “here’s your sign” moments have you suffered? 😉 ---
