    Thumbs up Sign in a store window

    SIGN IN A STORE WINDOW.

    'WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 FOREIGN TERRORISTS THAN WITH ONE SINGLE BRITISH SOLDIER!'

    This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in
    CAMPBELTOWN, SCOTLAND.


    You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement.

    However, we are a society which holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.

    After all, it is ONLY A SIGN.

    You may say 'What kind of business would dare to post such a sign?'

    Answer:





    A FUNERAL PARLOUR.

    That one led you down the wrong path before it sprung the trap, didn't it?!

    Thanks.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    That's pretty funny.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Re: Sign in a store window

    Being an ex-squaddie, I too started off getting the 'what the...', but burst out laughing at the tag line.
    As soon as I retrieve my lungs back (chest infection), I'll forward the text to a few buddies.

    And TheScot, that one is a classic also.

    Re: Sign in a store window

    Father Bill, if memory serves me correctly that story has a very familiar ring.
    If you have ever read the book or seen the film, The Colditz story, I think you will find that a Dutch or French POW said similiar words to the German Feldwebel of the Guard. Cheers
