Default gas station signs

You know those changeable letter signs that gas stations and minimarts have......? The ones with the arrow on top? The ones that try to sell one too many things in too few words? Ever see one that's hard to forget?

Here are two of my favorites:

GAS
TACOS

BAIT
SANDWICHES


Got any others?

Somewhere around Lincoln City is a station called the Towne Pump!

There is one in a town I live by that say's "23 HOUR TOWING" I'm still trying to figure that one out. I think they reserved that hour just in case the're not in the mood to help you at that time. :tongue:

The photo is a little fuzzy, but hopefully you can read it (and find it funny, too).

Well, have you had a "MF" turkey bacon ranch today?! They must really want to sell them if they're willing to curse at everyone.

If anyone knows an Arby's executive, I would consider selling the negatives. Otherwise, I think I'll send them to Jay Leno. :grin:

I went past a "Liquidators" store in Seattle one time and noted the portable sign outside that said:

Toilet Seats
Park At Rear

I like the sign out at Lee's camp store along HWY 6. I don't know if it is still this, but it used to read:

SAND
SHRIMP
BREAKFAST


Yummy! I'll take one.

There are a lot of great collections of these on the Web, alas I would get in big trouble for posting links. Not entirely "family" material!
