Every time we go by, I say "Holy $hit that parking lot is full", or "Would you look at that!!!!" and I point vigorously at it. She knows and the eyes roll and she says do you have to say that every time?! :lol: :lol:

There's a restaurant in Houston called the Hung Dong. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures off the Hung Dong.

It just occurred to me that the sign's English could have 2 different meanings, and has the correct useage of the apostrophe for either...impressive! :lol:

You need to train your mind to think a little more crudely, to always seek the second or hidden meaning in a statement....

It's not much of a life, but at least it is mine.....

Now, back to your regular service....

Seems like fast food signs and roadside billboard oddities are popular enough to deserve their own thread. Moderators, can you split this because I want to post some, too!
