When we put our sign up years ago, we made a decision. No ads, specials or auto information.
It is a great topic of conversation and, in general, just fun. Most people love it. Some people have stated that whatever the quote was for that week, we were meant to put it up for them to see. There are an amazing amount of quotes on the internet and in books. Some are funny, some insightful or thought provoking, and some are really just ancient wisdom. Many have been around forever and still are relevant today.
I have made some mistakes. I put up ‘Menopause is to women what kryptonite is to superman’ right before I left one night. I thought kryptonite made superman strong. I was wrong. The many phone calls received first thing in the morning pointed out my error.
A young woman called one afternoon and said that she didn’t understand the current quote because she didn’t know the definition of one word. I explained it. She said she felt stupid. I told her that she wasn’t stupid because she asked the question and found the answer. There was a feeling of satisfaction that someone had learned something that day from our sign.
If you have a quote you love and would like to see it on the sign, call or email us. If it works, we’d be glad to share it with our little part of the world!
