Driving through Georgia on our way back

from Christmas vacation, noticed several interesting billboards. The biggest one read, "Where is the Birth Certificate?"

Daughter and I saw it at the same time and laughed to tears! She was surprised that they hadn't spelled Birth with a u.

Another read, "STRIPPERS: Need we say more?"

And of course the dozens of informative abortion and gay bashing advertisements, sprinkled amongst the Jesus Loves You and XXX ADULT banners.

A psychiatrist's dream!

I despise billboards and GA is among the worst offenders. And yes I live here.

a long time ago.

There was a grocery warehouse called "Colonial Stores" which distributed to about 7 states.

Heading home to the Keys. But trust me, you're not alone. North Florida has some of my favorites... an adult xxx store, side to side with a huge standing cross.

little storage sheds that qualify as a 'business'. Hence rampant billboardery.

Huge letters, nothing else, just HELL IS REAL.
