Eh, I don’t find any of those impolite. If there’s a long line, I tend to say as little as possible to keep the line moving.
Also, I don’t want to encourage the counterperson to start in on some long rambling conversation!
Seen last week in Oregon:
HELP WANTED
NO PAY
ODD HOURS
COOL HATS
It was for a volunteer fire department.
This, along with a few dozen other pithy godly quips, were on billboards (nationwide in the U.S. I think) about 20 years ago.
See this page for a history of the project, including a few photos and (scrolling down a bit) a complete list of them all.
I see churches with those message boards with the cutesy messages all over the place. I’m sure there is some well-established repository of those slogans somewhere (no doubt on-line these days) that churches everywhere can consult, perhaps by subscription?
There’s no I-50 or I-60, because they would be located close to US 50 or US 60.
Once again, I can’t download an image, no matter how many different ways I try:

You have to put it somewhere else (I use Flickr); then copy the link from that site here. And put it on it’s own line; I see you are doing that already.
What am I missing? Perhaps “Tingling” is an inherently amusing name, but doesn’t connect to dentistry for me. Is it the connection to being numb from the anesthetic that’s supposed to be the joke?
More like the sensation you have when the dentist is drilling on your teeth. (Just as long as he doesn’t touch a raw nerve!)
Seen on the observation platform overlooking the crocodile exhibit at the Sydney Aquarium: Don’t lean over the railing. If the fall doesn’t kill you, the croc will.
I noticed during my trip that the Aussies seemed to eschew euphemism. Public buildings didn’t, for example, have restrooms or mens/ladies rooms - they had Toilets.
I don’t think there is any non-euphemism, non-vulgar word for either that fixture, nor for the room it is found in. “Toilet” is the things you take care of after waking up in the morning, including elimination of waste, but also including personal cleansing and application of cosmetics and scents.
Well, in Germany we colloquially call it “Scheißhaus”, and that’s what it is, a shit house.
Water closet (WC on plans) has always caught my eye.
English also has the colloquial “shithouse”. We also have “shitter” for those in more of a hurry.
These signs are great! Especially: THIS WORK CENTER HAS BEEN ACCIDENT-FREE SINCE - Joe Left.
Funny.
My favorites are “Adam and Eve: The first ones to ignore Apple terms and conditions,”
and the Comfort Inn one: “Pets welcome. Except bears. We’re not making that mistake again.”
I believe I snapped this at a hotel, altho it’s possible I grabbed it off the internet and memories crosswired.
Anyway, sneaky artist.
Am I missing something?
There are two ways to view that picture. One is a guy reading a book.
The other way, he is not alone but definitely smiling.
It took a minute, but i saw her.
