And the sign said
"Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that
Huh, me workin' for you"
Whoa
Sign, sign

[LittleGirl]

20. I love that song! Welcome to

DU! Cheers!

[Heartstrings]

27. Thanks for posting that and welcome to du!

[calimary]

45. Welcome to DU, wyn borkins!

Now there’s an oldie but goodie!

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. What a clever and charming competition.

I bet they all got tons of free PR from it, too.

[niyad]

13. That was delightful. Clever and fun.

[aggiesal]

15. $2.69/gal. of gas? ...

This is 1990's California prices.

Please come up to the 2000's !!!

[GB_RN]

17. $2.69 Is About Right

Here in NC/VA right now.

[Ms. Toad]

23. It's been as low as $2.49 here since the last time

I filled my car (at $2.59).

[yellowdogintexas]

32. we are running around 2.39 - 2.59 in Fort Worth except for

the evil Shell station up the road which is always 50 cents higher. We can't figure out why anyone would buy gas from that guy

[aggiesal]

34. In the $3.90's, in San Diego n/t

[Haggard Celine]

51. It's about $2.59-$2.69 here in south Mississippi.

I don't know how people afford to live in California. I know y'all make more money out there, but I don't think it's enough to make up for the huge difference in the cost of living between here and there. Hope you're making a hell of a lot more than I am!

[PatSeg]

16. That was so clever!

What fun people they all must be.

[Snackshack]

18. That's great!

I think the “B-Sharp to make Shoe-Shi” won. Plus they threw in Godzilla so....yea hands down!

Very cool how others started joining in.

[calimary]

44. And they threw in Godzilla too!

[Wounded Bear]

19. K&R...for some good natured ribbing back and forth...

not to mention the 3rd and 4th parties joining in.

[LittleGirl]

21. Faith in Humanity restored

Thanks for the good trouble fun!

[berniesandersmittens]

22. People can be so awesome sometimes!

Thanks for the reminder and the smile, Christianburg.

[KentuckyWoman]

24. Laughed so hard I had to blow my nose.

THANKS FOR POSTING.

What a keeper.

[genxlib]

26. Great for the people who are through there regularly

But damn that would be confusing if you just drove through once in the middle of it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. What a hoot these clever signs are! I love the back and forth.

Very funny and cute besides.

[lunatica]

33. This is great community humor!

Business wars week!

39. That's the sprit!

[Crunchy Frog]

40. It's oddly refreshing to see people being friendly and acting like they're part of a community.

I didn't know that could still happen in this country.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

41. It's a modern-day miracle in America. No politics!

How refreshing and good natured for a change.........


Thanks for posting, Heartstrings.......

[moniss]

42. Am I

the only one who saw this and thought about Burma-Shave? Also the signs on "Laugh-In" and "Hee-Haw"? But mostly Burma-Shave. A great read is "The Verse by the Side of the Road: The Story of the Burma-Shave Signs and Jingles". I can't possibly be that old am I?

[calimary]

43. This is hilarious!

Looks like everybody got into the act!

Great stuff! Thanks, Heartstrings!

[Guilded Lilly]

46. Love love love this spirit! Made a lousy day bright! N/t
