More Key West Signs

Signs I see around Key West make me laugh from time to time. It makes me wonder if I'm the only one who sees the oddness of the words pasted everywhere. This one, it seems so condescending. It's not "free" with a meal. Is the meal free and you pay for the wi-fi? How about this next one... what does it mean? The sales staff in the office are handicapped while the ones outside aren't? And why do they differentiate?This next one was cheerful, I thought. A banker welcoming you into their clutches, how privileged!Check this next ad out. Key West is everything you ever dreamed of- and more! Good Lord what a burden for a small town!blah blah blah. Buy now. And then there are the sign writers that can't remember to do the spell check thing.
This sign also made me laugh, the way people use this stupid word as a euphemism for the unspeakable. Oh fudge! My arse. If you are going to swear do it properly when you're around me.You've heard the joke about the idiot visitor who wants to take a sunset cruise and asks about what times the sunsets are tonight, as though there is more than one. Well, according to the glass bottom boat schedule there is more than one!And you thought Mallory Square was just a place to gather and watch the sun go down. You look at this sign and you realize there are a million ways to spend your money at Mallory Square.In a town filled with stupid juvenile t-shirts working the sexual innuendo nonsense a plain silly t-shirt comes as something of a relief. Take this one home to grandma.
I have no idea who first coined this saying......but I do not agree with the sentiment. Once ruined people around you will not trust you one bit. You will be hemmed in by your reputation. Good luck.
