Bethel Avenue Hahas

While driving down Bethel Avenue in Port Orchard yesterday I saw two reader boards that caught my attention:


     BARK NOW, OR FOREVER HOE YOUR WEEDS

and,

     BIRTHING CLASSES - by the Dalai Mama


I love creativity! Here are a few more of my favorite signs:

     WE CURL UP AND DYE FOR YOU    
     (on a beauty shop in Missoula, Montana)

     PLANT PARENTHOOD
     (the name of a plant nursery, also in Missoula)

Then there is the Bremerton ale house:
     THE POUR HOUSE

And if the BVGs ever opened a wine bar:
     EMPOURIUM

I have always loved the art of a 'play on words.' One of my all-time favorites is also incredibly politically incorrect. I didn't write this, I'm just quoting it, from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer from decades ago: "Rosa Parks Bust Unveiled." That was done in poor taste.

But then Elltu might say the same thing about a picture I took of her in the hospital and put it on the blog. At least I didn't entitle the post: "Elletu's Bust Unveiled"!
