Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won’t buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

Employment applications always ask whom to call in case of an emergency. I always say ‘an ambulance.’

Years ago, right beside my college campus, there was a convenience store named the Tinee Giant Food Store. Except one time when some lights had burned out, and it was temporarily the “Tinee G od Store. Years later, long after the sign had been repaired, long after it had been sold and had some other name, everybody still called it the “Tiny God” but most people had no idea why.

I remember passing a gas station long ago that said HELL.
Don’t forget the Chinese restaurant at the end of A Christmas Story whose sign said BO LING.

I used to live across from a hotel and would call them and tell them ‘Your E is out ” or whichever letter it was.

Ha! I actually used to work for a company who did neon lighting repair (aka as replacing lightbulbs). Every morning I’d get a listing from the night crew of businesses they had driven by the night before whose signage was out. My job was to call these businesses, tell them their lights were out and sell them on our repair services. Worst job I ever had, lol. Builds character they say…

I love these missing-letter ones 🙂
(It’s funny anyway, but I can’t figure out what “FREE HIV” was supposed to be. Anybody?)

If you look at the sign very closely, you’ll see the word “testing” under “hiv.” 🙂
