My Smile For The Day

[EcclesCake]

I've just passed a local butcher who had a sign outside announcing 'Lean thighs, firm rump and hot tongue!'.

They have also been known to claim all their meat is well hung.

Having now had my smile for the day I will now revert to my usual miserable trout self ;-)

whatever you do don't ask the butcher if he's got a pork hock ...

Morning butcher, do you have a sheep's head?

No, it's just the way I part my hair.

I am reminded of one of the Samantha stories, on "I'm sorry I haven't a clue"

"Samantha was going to the Races with one of her new gentlemen friends, so she stopped off at the butchers, to buy some cold meat for the sandwiches.

She was so hungry that she ate them all on the way, but she was glad that she did, as she was able to enjoy the day out much better, with some of the butchers tongue inside her"

One day I will get around to investigating whether a book of Samantherisms has ever been published.

'Lean thighs, firm rump and hot tongue'

Describes my woman to a T ;-p

Years ago I used to walk past a Garden shop on my way to work. There was a sign in the window which read "we have big, fat balls" . The childish part of me smirked at it.

Eccles....here would be a good place to start !

Also there was a particularly good one this week ( at about 25 mins )

How they get away with this is beyond me !

Not quite the same; however, a while back a local service-station had a sign proclaiming: "Huge blowout Sale On Re-Treaded Tires.".

Thank you Mikey, I'll take a look at your links.

I do like a good laugh at promotional signs, whether the mirth is intended or not.

There was a sign in Skegness many years ago which read, on separate lines:

Disabled
Baby Changing

Not rude, but quite gruesome!

[stuey]

Hellywelly4 I can understand the "disabled" part, but did people actually go in there and trade babies with one another?

My favourite was in Southern Ireland, the long road from Killarney towards Kanturk.....passing an undertaker who had an A-board out on the edge of the pavement to the main road through the village. It simply said, "Graves are open."

Stuey - not sure if your question is serious or not, but in case it is serious, it's where you can change your baby's nappy!

Worked in the advertisement dept of a local paper many years ago. Had to phone the boss of a department store to ask him to change his advert which read "Start off Spring with a bang in the ladies department". He couldn't see what the problem was.

[stuey]

Well, hell, hellywelly4; I was just being silly:)

That's what I said when I got the tab. :-)

Years ago, an American couple once stopped me in Leicester Square and asked me the way to a Chinese Restaurant, that their Hotel porter had recommended.

It was called Me Lon Cok. I gently suggested that their legs had been pulled, although they couldn't really understand why ! I then directed them to my favourite place in Lisle Street, called Mr Kongs. I do so hope they enjoyed their meal !
