Stopping at a gas station is typically nothing more than a basic errand, unless there’s a deal going on or something out of the ordinary happens. But at a station in Seattle’s Wallingford area, customers are treated to a steady stream of humor thanks to a signboard that’s always updated with fresh, clever remarks.
Two Evils
The message here hints that the writer doesn’t necessarily go for the lesser evil, but instead picks whichever bad option they haven’t tried before. That could be brave—or reckless—depending on your outlook. Personally, I’d rather take my chances with the devil I know than gamble on the unknown.
Who would do that?
Here’s a heads-up—naming your pet “Shark” might spice up your beach days in a way you didn’t intend. Of course, if sunbathing on the sand is more your style, you’ll be just fine!
Jerk to Naps
As children, we never quite understood the true gift of a nap. What we once fought against becomes a daily survival tool in adulthood, and by the time we realize how good we had it, it’s too late to go back.
Lost and found
Coming across someone’s lost dentures at a gas station is definitely out of the ordinary. Fingers crossed they’re reunited soon—preferably before their next meal!
Reality Check
A reality check is supposed to bring you back to earth. But if yours bounces, does that mean it never landed in the first place?
First Five Days
If you count down the minutes until Friday, you’ll likely agree with this one. But if you genuinely enjoy your work, Mondays might not feel like such a drag. Personally, I find Monday the hardest, Tuesday only slightly better, and then it starts to ease up—though the weekend always disappears too fast. Honestly, a two-day workweek doesn’t sound so bad!
Antibodies
Ants and antibodies have nothing in common—except, maybe, their name in this joke! One is essential for your immune system, and the other? Mostly a picnic problem.
Stop to Think
As you get older, forgetfulness becomes a regular visitor. You stop mid-thought to figure something out, then completely blank on why you stopped in the first place. This message nails that experience.
Scared Half to Death Twice
Could someone really be frightened all the way to death? If there’s time to recover, odds are you’ll pull through. The more accurate phrase would probably be “scared to death”—a real expression people actually use!
Would you enter?
This restroom sign doesn’t need to say much to be hilarious. It’s short, odd, and intriguing—though maybe not exactly comforting before walking in.
Humility by Winter
The person behind these signs loves to flip well-known phrases. In this case, “pride comes before a fall” gets a seasonal twist, hinting that humility follows closely behind—in winter!
Music lover
Clearly, the writer is into Panic! At The Disco. They’ve creatively tied the band’s name to those chaotic moments in life that seem to catch us all off guard.
Bacon Seeds
Wouldn’t it be great if bacon grew on trees? Sadly, bacon seeds aren’t a thing, and pigs still hold the monopoly. Technically, you can raise your own bacon—but not the way this sign suggests.
Air and Space Museum
The pun here is spot on—an air and space museum is exactly what it sounds like: full of air and space! Beyond the joke, these places are packed with fascinating pieces of aviation and cosmic history and absolutely worth exploring.
Child Proofed
When someone talks about childproofing their house, they usually mean making it safer for kids—not creating a barrier to keep them out completely. Thankfully, as kids grow up, they tend to spend more time away—unless they’re running low on cash, of course!
Fuzzy Memory
This joke implies that if your memory gets a little hazy, you naturally forget your misdeeds—making it easier to sleep at night. By that logic, the older you get, the less guilt you carry!
Past, Present, and Future
This one riffs on a familiar bar joke, but with a twist that hinges on understanding grammar. It’s tailor-made for those who live and breathe punctuation—editors, teachers, and writers especially.
Hypothetical Question
That’s definitely something to think about! But if hypothetical questions didn’t exist, would a sign like this even be possible? Then again, if everyone just answered clearly, maybe we wouldn’t have to ask so many questions in the first place.
Go for the Juggler
Jugglers really are the worst—constantly throwing things in the air like they’re showing off. And they’re usually the ones messing with knives or flaming batons, so yeah, they’re the most dangerous. Take them out first for everyone’s safety!
Second Mouse
I can’t help but feel sorry for that unlucky first mouse. Makes you wonder if the second one lets others go ahead on purpose, just to avoid the trap and claim the prize. That’s pretty dark when you stop and think about it. Poor little guy.
Hokey pokey Clinic
This sign jokes about a fictional Hokey Pokey Clinic where you can “turn yourself around.” If only sorting out life was that easy—just take it one step at a time and shake off the rest!
