…in more ways than one.

So we’re driving along after Saturday’s big snowstorm, and there’s a temporary (h-stake) business sign stuck in the sidewalk median. I can only guess that it was for a spa or beauty salon, because the only readable word is FACIALS. Which, along with the rest of the sign, was well-covered with splatters of snow.

Took a few miles to explain my convulsions of laughter to Mrs. B.

No pic, sorry. I wish.

Be ready to take a pic the next time you see it coming.

I’m surprised you confessed your vocabulary-expanding “research” to Mrs. B! 🙂

Hilarious combo of sig, and thread subject :D.

(psst, Hypno-Toad, I think it’s Mrs. Barbarian who’d see it coming…).
