Imma cut you off before you start with the “that’s not passive-aggressive” bidness. It’s “WTF Friday,” and anything goes!
First up: Linda spotted this spray-painted notice in front of a dumpster on the streets of San Francisco. “I have no idea what breast cancer trash they are trying to fend off, or what ‘breast cancer trash’ is supposed to mean,” she says.
Meanwhile, Susan in Silverdale, Washington did a doubletake when she drove past this sign on her way home one day. (She took a picture, but did not attempt to make good on the offer.)
Austin was similarly disarmed upon spotting this notice outside a shop in Dublin, Ireland.
And longtime troublemaker Wade had a good chuckle when spotted this sign outside a child care center (run by the Addams’ Family?) in Washington, D.C.

Sounds like someone at the flowershop got duh-umped!!
Incidentally, nothing *quite* compliments the scent of a rose like the stench of bitterness…

Okay, press the door bell to enter, after you hear the buzzard pull the door, if you don’t hear the buzzard, tap on the window. If after all that you still you don’t hear the buzzard and can’t open the door just give up, we don’t like you and don’t wanna let you in. Get over yourself.

What exactly does a buzzard sound like? I am sure they make some sort of noise, but much like the giraffe I have no idea what that sound is. What do I do if I hear the buzzard but don’t recognize it?

Breast Cancer Trash: I am envisioning the scene from Fight Club where Norton gets slimed by liposuction waste – except this time Tyler Durden helping him dispose of the bio-hazard goo into the dumpster.

So some bufflehead got a word wrong. Jeeze, you’d think it was some sort of cardinal sin or something the way you people are crowing about it. Somebody makes a bit of a booby out of themselves, and you are all so swift to snipe at them. Have a flicker of compassion, can’t you? You’ve never had to swallow your words because you said something that made you look like a turkey? I’m sorry to grouse like this, I suppose you think I’m raven, but sometimes you all act like a bunch of loons.

I believe the “Flowers to Go” may be a reference to an Ernest Hemingway quote in which he addressed one of his more harsh female critics. Instead of, ” A rose, is a rose, is a rose” he said, “A bitch is a bitch, is a bitch.” Just a guess.

The No Breast Cancer sign was put on that dumpster during the Breast Cancer 3-day walk. They didn’t want people throwing all the trash from the walkers in their dumpster.

I assumed the flower sign my be reaching out to women in verbally abusive relationships. They need a rose.
But I guess it’s more likely that someone messed with the sign. That says something about our culture.

The key to building a good retirement nest egg for future financial peace of mind is to nurture a buzzard in the window. Start early. Don’t leave it too late. You might be turned off by the fact that it is listed as a Species of Least Concern but this just indicates it is a quiet but steady earner. Often reinvest the carrion you collect and earn to strengthen your young buzzard, via regurgitation, so that you can reap the gains when it comes into maturity. Ever seen how bald a buzzard is? That’s because wise investors use its plumage to feather their nests. The buzzard has very few natural predators, you won’t be sorry. Though sometimes hard of hearing, a healthy and stable buzzard in the window is sure to keep the wolf from the door and the vultures from circling overhead.

I’ve often wondered why Jerry Springer has never done a show devoted to breast cancer.
I guess he’s seen sign #1.

What kind of ‘experience’ are we talkin’ here? If it has to be a man then they must be looking for ALOT of experience. Hey, that was just as sexist as the note. I’m such an ass….

“Oh honey, how thoughtful, you remembered!”
“Oh Bitch, you know I love you!”

“Flowers to go” is doing a much better business than their first venture.
“Flowers to stay” just never took off for some reason.

The breast cancer trash sign used a double negative. Does that mean they want us to put “breast cancer trash” in there?
P.S.
I think breast cancer trash is classified as medical waste. I’m pretty sure it’s generally considered illegal to just dump it wherever.
