If a Business Depended on it's Name...


I didn't show the door, but what do you think...open? ..or closed? If the owners of any business would just think, "What does my name sound like in a sentence?"
('How about meeting me down at SQUAT & GOBBLE for a smoked turkey rump sandwich?')
'Do you have a public restroom?' Posted by Hello

This one has some business.


There's nothing more I can say.... Posted by Hello

Where do they get these names?


Translation: 'Cafe' = Restaurant;
'oon' = roomy, large, big;
'Suk' = (the obvious).
So..........this would be "Restaurant sucks big time".
If you can read the door..."For Lease" Posted by Hello

John Deere ball cap: One size fits all.


So does owning a Deere make you this big-headed? An equipment dealer east of Wichita has this one in stock. Posted by Hello

Hair Care Gone to the Dogs


Not a hair salon, or even a vasectomy clinic, it's a DOG GROOMING place. Posted by Hello

Bringing Down the Roof....


"Honey, did you remember to lock the roof when you left?" There is a crank and pulley on each pole, but underneath the roof seems to be only an old trailer made of a pickup bed and behind it is a smoker cooker. This is on a county road, north of Rosalia, KS. Posted by Hello

The Aliens Have Landed!


In KANSAS. Same kind of window on the other side, also. Could you live in that? Posted by Hello

Last Minute Change in Plans


Treehugging environmentalists must have won this one. "No, we can't run the highway straight through that excavation...trees have grown in since we started this project." So they go around and over the hill. (I don't have a clue what the real explanation is.) This is in Kansas, between Strong City and Rosalia, southbound 177. Posted by Hello

Finger-lickin' Good!


I couldn't get a photo of the guy as I had left the camera at the hotel. (I hate this hotel, by the way, as it is one of those 'weekly' places and you get nothing. One soap between the tub and sink, you empty your own trash and the room smells bad. I want my Best Western back!) Not like me to write so much, but you just have to hear this story. Back to 'the guy': I was eating at this chinese buffet that is my favorite in Wichita, at about 5 or so tonight and this 85-90 year old man was at the salad bar. He was kind of hunched over, hair outgrown for weeks, had the typical old-man abdominal bulge, and was quite wrinkled. As he made his salad, I glanced at him spooning croutons on his salad. Just then he licked the spoon! Twice! Oh MY! I looked his plate over and he had cottage cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and was going for the shredded cheese. YES, he licked that one, too! I notified the management and they immediately pulled those containers and utensils and had a few words with the gentleman. But still, I went for the main course buffet before he could shuffle over there! Sorry I couldn't post a "Watch for this man" photo, but maybe this will do. KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR BUFFET UTENSILS! YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN! Posted by Hello

Lawn Services Needed Urgently


Perhaps this would not be the best place to have your mower serviced or to buy a used one. It's just east of Neosho, MO on 86 if you see anything that you like. Look closely - yes, there is at least fifty mowers (push and riders) in this yard. Posted by Hello

HO HO HO and a Happy Memorial Day!


Christmas in Jul...., I mean - May. Just south of Wentworth, MO this tree appears to be on the highway right-of-way miles from anyone's home. Posted by Hello

OVERSPRAY....?????


The home is by United-Bilt and located south of Fairland, OK. This one must be called "Water Tower Blues". (OR...is this an inappropriate use of RWD #6 funds?) Thanks to Chad H. for pointing this one out! Posted by Hello

Advertising...Choosing the right Medium (or less).


They threw a party and no one showed up! (Well, when I went by at 11:45 am anyway, the lot was empty.) Maybe they should have tried a RADIO spot! Posted by Hello

Sounds so Appetizing!


Rump Roasted? Angus Anus? Ground Cheek? Have you tried the 1/3 lb. FATburger? (couldn't help noticing they are closed...) "Excuse me, could you disclose your source of meat, please?"

Here's your sign!


I don't think I need to comment. If you live near Miami, you've probably seen this, but I had to share it with the rest of my readers. Posted by Hello

What's missing in FA_LKNER church?... "U" is!


It's a co-op, a Christian church and about three homes (one looks vacant), but you would think the state of Kansas would know how to spell it after being there a hundred years or so. In Cherokee county, from the south is the sign on the left, from the north is the right (and correct) sign. Posted by Hello

Scratch Our Buns.............


Seems just a bit redundant, doesn't it? This is at the "Funny Name, Serious Sandwich" place on Range Line in Joplin, MO. And I'm not really comfortable with 'SCRATCH BY HAND' in the same sentence as 'OUR BUNS'. Posted by Hello
