11. Great, but punctuation errors make me groan.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

24. They use a word like "efficacy"

yet forget the apostrophe? Maddening.

25. The use of Republicanese has become very pervasive

One of the main traits of Republicanese, namely using an apostrophe to form a plural, is to be found on almost ANY board in the USA these days, no longer just on Republican boards. Nowhere in any school in the English-speaking world are children EVER taught to use an apostrophe to form a plural, and yet you see it almost everywhere. It is one of the main differences between English and Republicanese.

e.g. English: There are so many stars in the sky tonight, they are like snow flurries.
Republicanese: There are so many star's in the sky tonight, they are like snow flurry's.

As you might expect, Republicanese also eliminates the use of an apostrophe where English mandates it, thus the difference between parents' and parents.

And you have to admit, punctuation or not, it was a GREAT notice for the store to post!

30. Your write, but u left out parent's parents'. There gonna be mad at all yall's nitpick's.

Get your own decoder ring!

[DFW]

35. I barely remember what a decoder ring is

As W used to say, that’s using some ecolectic terminology.

37. Argh! Bushisms ...

cut off by Saddam Hussein."

think beyond the old days of when we had the concept that if we blew
each other up, the world would be safe."

15. Yep they're too busy to waste time arguing with the assholes

16. Nail, Meet Hammer!

The "debate...when this is over" piece is excellent.

17. I'm still regretting Nate McMurray's loss in Western New York's 27th District

but we knew it was a long shot in Paladino county. They don’t even know what they lost.

[RicROC]

38. dead skunk

I live in western NY State, not in Nate's district so I couldn't help him with a vote, although I did send $$.

In these towns (Republicanese: town's) the Repubs could put a dead skunk on the ballot and it would still beat a living Democrat.

18. Great sign but too many words for Trump Humpers to read. "Efficacy" is gonna go right over.

[Hekate]

19. BOOM!

[iluvtennis]

20. That's keeping it real. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

21. Oh. . . .Snap!

[Karma13612]

22. Wow!

Now THAT right there is some STRAIGHT TALKING kinda signage!

[Joinfortmill]

23. Wow. Just wow.

[mtnsnake]

26. I think the first paragraph alone would have been the better way to go.

It says everything that is needed to keep anti-maskers from entering the store. I think the second paragraph is just asking for trouble with the anti-mask morons.

[Stuart G]

28. K and R..Thank You for posting..

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. Boom!

[ShazzieB]

31. AWESOME!

This is a thing of beauty!

[BobTheSubgenius]

32. If the first part of the sign didn't make an impression on you, the second DEFINITELY should.

If it doesn't, and you think you should enter anyway, you are a f'ing moron.

[Knicks007]

33. SAVAGE!!!

It's funny cause it's TRUUUUUE.

[mtnsnake]

34. The idea for the sign actually originated at a vintage store in Phoenix, AZ

The owner of the shop said grandmothers from all over the world have called and left voice mails thanking the store for standing up for them.

Contrast that with Iowa where we have stores banning customers who do mask.

(iowa has a 50 percent positivity rate oh by the way)

[Woodwizard]

40. My local hardware store 90 miles north of NYC

The owners and staff do not wear masks I will not go anymore and it sucks they have the best plywood in the area. They were tea party during Obama but the mask thing I can not deal with, the owner and his wife are both in their late 60's.

42. Ballsy. I love it! n/t
