I didn't find a lot in the way of laff riot signs around town but this will do. Mr. T. Rex here has been on the blog a couple of times but the placard is new. It's good advice: don't feed the dinosaurs unless you plan on doing so with yourself.
The bottom photo, however, is the quintessential weirdo St. Louis sign. I didn't lead with it because it's not my picture. If fact, the building is long gone. The story is that St. Louis' German immigrants had a taste for fried calves' brains sandwiches, a market served by this emporium on Chouteau Avenue just east of Grand Boulevard in Midtown. The location is near St. Louis University and the building was still around when I was a student there in the late 60s and early 70s.

I don't see why they shouldn't be fed, lol!
ReplyDeleteI just love the second one. I used to love eating brains when I was a small kid.
j'adore la vielle publicité ;o) J'aime aussi le Baseball, mais pas les matchs en entier, je préfère les résumés, je trouve que c'est souvent très lent très lent ;o)
ReplyDeleteHa! Funny one and yes love that second shot. Classic. Pity the building has gone.
ReplyDeleteYou should always be careful around dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteOh both of those pics are so funny! Had to laugh. On top of being funny, the second one is beautiful, in this sepia tone and with the arch on the background.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm right? the "Do Nuts" seems to be the cherry on the cake...
ReplyDeleteAccording to my online dictionnary, Nuts can define "crazy or insane person" :-))
Really funny signs indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe kids must love the top sign. The bottom sign is priceless.
ReplyDeleteDarn, I was about to feed the T-Rex with my annoying cousins' kids! The second photo is hilarious :-)
ReplyDeleteGiven the condition of society today, they must not be doing much of a business.
ReplyDeleteI can think of a lot of people that need to queue up at the Brains Drive Through. Great shots B and I'm guessing no one will get their knickers in a knot!
ReplyDeleteBoth signs are great!
ReplyDeleteI have to send some guys I've dated to get some 25cents-worth...
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, I liked the T Rex advice.
Ciao my friend
If only it were that simple to get some brains, I'd buy some for a few I know! Cute on the top photo.
ReplyDeleteThe first one was nice; the second made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteBoth nicely done!
I'm getting in line for the brains! And I may come back for seconds or thirds.
ReplyDeleteThe brains should be reserved for T-Rex, I think!
ReplyDeleteGreat signs, Bob!
really funny ;)
