Danny snapped this understated little note at a senior center in Maryville, Missouri. It seems a bit futile, really. I know that no sign would stop my grandmother from putting in her two cents.

clothing. yeah, everybody wants the guy in the speedo to cover up, but if clothing didn’t exist to allow us to pander to our own illusions, our vanity would probably keep us all in better shape.

Oh wow. This site is fantastic. Maybe I should submit my own notes that I leave on the cars of people who try to park me in… I don’t think they are hilarity-inducing enough though!

What about passive-aggressive emails from nasty wanna-be managers? This one I made into a T-Shirt.

At a SENIOR center? Really? All the oldies but goodies I know take EVERY opportunity they get to make jabs at each other . It’s one of their favorite past-times. The get together to drink decaf coffee, talk about what ails them, tell lies and insult each other. It’s just what they do.

It’s called Marysville, MO. I grew up an hour south of there. I did not submit this pic however.
