I’m not getting the “stuck in the alphabet” sign. 🤔

The alphabet game is something little kids used to play to pass the time on long car rides. You try to find all the letters of the alphabet on road signs or license plates (or whatever), in alphabetical order. My brothers and I used to do it all the time, and we always seemed to get stuck on Q. Never made it as far as X, Y, or Z.

It always helps to spot a liquor store. Or a Quik-Mart. J.

This bunch made me laugh so hard that Franklin and Penelope roused from their naps to show concern.
Love,

Love the parody of the Serenity Prayer as well as the sign collection.
While I can take the missing period after “WiFi” in stride, I do wish the sign at Stricker’s Cafe had used “Talk” (rather than “talk”). Maybe Stickler’s Cafe got that one right. 😉
