One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for January 20, 2024

A tax is a fine for doing good, whereas fine is a tax for doing bad….

You better read “Edge City” for the past couple weeks before you decide to park there. They parked somewhere and missed the sign because it was covered in snow and they’re going through a lot of grief now!

Ooops…

Oh no

Do I sense an arc arriving?

And in most places you find it’s fine for littering, too.

I love these places where trees and bushes cover stop signs. One mall in Florida you would run the stop sign if you didn’t know it was there.

Many years ago my dad and brother parked in a DQ parking lot in Columbia (Missouri). When he got out, law enforcement was about to write my dad a ticket. Why? Parking in front of a No Parking Sign. What sign? The one covered by the trees. My dad attempted to argue his side, but the officer didn’t want to hear it. So the officer began to write out the ticket. My dad told him you write it and I will shove it up your butt. The officer stopped and left. Not a recommended move on my dad’s part, but he didn’t get a ticket.

Didn’t the Stooges do a gag where they went to the woods and saw a sign that said “FINE FOR DUCK HUNTING.”

How many check out those signs of warning better?
