jasy from laurel, maryland spotted this beauty while driving down the jersey turnpike.
“i’m dying to know just how blasphemous denise is to deserve the sign,” jasy says, “but is it really that surprising that the antichrist would claim jersey as home base?”

I work with a lady named Denise Christ (although not in Jersey). Obviously this sign is wrong.

“Turn left at the Turnpike Inn”
“That is what it says here on Mapquest, I told you honey, I got the directions on how to get our “Handbasket straight through to Hell.”
” This seems to be the shortest route.” “Yes, I know we will miss Mass on Sunday because it says here the Turnpike is only open from 9 to 12, but it is the quickest route”!

That must be off a turnpike exit. It doesn’t look like one of the NJ Turnpike rest areas.
I’ll bet it’s down in rural South Jersey too. That’s were we keep our state’s bible belt and Confederate flag license plates.

Jasy is from Maryland. Maybe the anti-Christ just prefers NJ because she loves money!

Is that Big letter A the SCARLET LETTER for Denise? After all, she is the Anti-Christ and is on display from 12-9.

Especially Deborah and Denise the Anti-Christ need to hook up and burn PopCorn together over the fiery pits of hell.

“Denise is the Anti Christ - Open Sunday 12 to 9″
Because even the Anti Christ is closed during church services on Sunday morning.

I think I saw Denise Is The Anti Christ open for Peter Gabriel back in the 80s.

If Denise is “open” between 12 and 9 on Sundays, she WOULD be the Anti-Christ…

Last time I visited the Turnpike Inn, I had a Hell of a time. The staff are a bit beastly, but the breakfast is sinfully good - the devilled eggs are damned tasty!

I can’t say I’m surprised that the anti-christ is named Denise.

You know, with signs like this, someone could have put that up as a joke on the business owners. I *might* have done that a time or two. A restaurant’s country daily catfish special on sundays somehow became the “daily assfuck special” after some creative rearranging of the letters, and taking letters from the other side of the sign.
