Jake’s store is a real joke.

How to keep an idiot in suspense

Next to ping pong shop.

It’s great, except that Jake loses a lot of customers that way.

They never make it into the door.

I did this at a university I was working at a few years ago. I put signs saying “Use other door” on classrooms that had only one entrance," and signs like the one in this strip on rooms that had two. If I’d thought of it, I’d have put signs saying “Use next door ⮕” (that’s a right-facing arrow if your system doesn’t recognize the character) on all the doors down one long corridor. Maybe I’ll sneak back in next April and do that…

time to go through the wall in-between them. ;)

Like the time the senior pranksters at our local high school released three greased pigs labeled #1, #2, and #4.

Both of thoze doors are probably painted on, with the real entrance around the back.

Ernie is inside holding his paint brush…?

I actually saw something like this once on a major street in downtown Madison. Sidewalks on both sides of it were under construction, each with a sign saying “Use Other Side”. This was a block away from the offices of one of our local newspapers, and I immediately alerted them to it, thinking they could send out a photographer but for whatever reason they never did. (This was before the days of readily available cell-phone cameras, or I would’ve gotten a shot of it myself.)

Seen the the same thing at a bank, ‘cept it said ’window’.
