This photo is not retouched. :shock:



The "s" was backordered and the manager was not happy I took this photo.

Ok, if the "s" was back ordered, why put up the other letters? :roll: Why on earth would the manager expect anything less than folks taking the perfect photo op?? :lol: :lol: :lol: He needs a sense of humor!

Great photo!! :applaud:

It's all free advertising, this will get people's attention, but they can say it's perfectly innocent, and the "S" is on the way.

If it was an advertising ploy they should have let the old manager in on this. The guy threatened to kick me off the property and was near belligerent. I countered with a calm voice and open handshake and this cut the edge.

He ended his near shaking venting by stating they were extremely upset at the sign company and didn't want to be the joke of the town.

I assured him I didn't work for the local news... but just enjoyed a good joke.

Oh, y'all, I had a good one and just thought better of it. This one's too easy. I'll just let it speak for itself.


You should post this on shipoffools dot com. Don't know they'd use it, but boy it sure is funny.

No, I'm not saying they planned it that way, but boy you won't forget that shoe store!

If the sign company put it up this way, I can understand the guy being upset.

If he was so worried or upset, why didn't he just have the sign company cover the sign until the "S" came in?

Just a thought!

Wonder why they didn't take a can of red paint and a brush and paint a big red 'S' a little smaller than the back-ordered one?? :roll:

Is that the manager eyeing you from the window? That guy looking your way seems ready to rumble. :D

My friend Doug's school bus use to drive by an old Krispy Kreme that had the H lamp burned out in DOUGHNUTS. He wasn't happy to be called Doug at the time. :lol:
