I saw this sign today at a Country Club while I was doing an estimate. I go to Country Clubs all the time, but only as a guest. Someone obviously put a lot of time into making this sign, but I think I could have saved them time and money. Check it out:
Dress Code:
No Black People
Speaking of color, I saw this one while I was on the road:
I think this is the coolest shade of yellow. I love it when the marketing people do their jobs so well. It’s like they’re hitting a home run every time.
I was also driving behind a truck that was carrying pizza. The truck was a fantastic example of marketing genius. Here’s the truck:
I thought how awesome it is that the pizza company is called Tombstone Pizza. I decided to come up with a few of my own marketing ideas. Here is a partial list of the many that run through my head on a daily basis:
Failure Marketing (this is a great name for the marketing company that names trucks).
Bunion Footwear
Cirrhosis Vodka
Wheelchair Motorcycles
Sodomy Bank
These are just some of the many great names I’ve come up with for companies that I think will be ultra-successful, kind of like Tombstone Pizza and Yellow Trucking.
If I haven’t mentioned this before, I think capitalism brings out the genius in everyone. Now I’m going to go take some Overdose Sleeping Pills and will talk to you later.

I just now saw this comment…I’m a terrible blogger. One of these days I’ll get a stream-lined comment-checking process down.
Nice list.
Seen recently where I live:
Cheerful Asian Cemetery
Spore’s Crystal Water
Brown Port-O-Potty
I am totally ready to party at the Cheerful Asian Cemetery.

This is great. I grew up with a brother who ate frozen Tombstone pizzas religiously and its name never struck me as odd…until now.
This probably doesn’t quite fit here but we used to have a great restaurant in my city called #1 New Chinese Food Buffet.
Your brother is still alive? Amazing.

I hate to say I LOL, but I did laugh out loud reading the country club bit.
Priceless.
You just made my day.

Have you seen the adult Barbie? She was on the news this morning. Skin tight Leopard skin mini-dress, tattoo in the cleavage. NOt being sold in toy stores. So I am afraid denim is OUT!
Nothing says Class like Leopard skin and a cleavage tat. I wish I were a Pierced Ken.
Thanks!

I notice this common plumber’s situation wasn’t addressed on the poster. Hazy gray-area?
Yes, but let’s be thankful it’s a gray area. Your blog is great!
