What a catch!

Our submitter in Portland, Oregon saw this sign while out for her morning run. Strangely, she took a pass on the hot date.

I’m dying with curiosity about the comment scrawled on the bottom: “SHE DID–BUT I WOULDN’T–”

  Me toooooooo!!
  She, who?? The 17-yr-old? One of the Craigslist hookers? Another woman? A passerby (in which case the passerby’s friend would be a second notewriter)?
  
  I must know!

  If I had to guess, she’s talking about her refusal to go downtown on him which is obviously why he had no choice but to turn to the red light district and an experienced high school junior.

This is more sad (std and pregnant) than funny.

I think the comments will prove to be funnier than the PAN. ; )

  Clearly says “Portland, Oregon.” Though I suppose he could have moved or be from Chicago.

Is this the new way to announce you’re having a baby. I’m curious to see what the birth announcements will look like.

I’m surprised that “left me pregnant” was the least of her concerns. It’s like she was more angry about the cheating and hookers than her own reproductive health.

Do you think she will have the baby?

  Well, the cheating, hookers, and STD all have an effect on her reproductive health and the health of her baby. If it’s one of those STDs that can only be treated, not cured, she has to watch out to make sure the baby doesn’t get it. Right down to possibly having a C-section so the baby won’t get genital warts on it’s face or something of that nature the second it’s born.

  I didn’t get that impression at all. I think she was following the chronological order of events.

  Hopefully she was infected before she was impregnated. Catching something during a pregnancy, especially early pregnancy, is dangerous since relatively benign bacterial and viral infections can cause horrible illness and deformity in a developing fetus.

One day when taking a country highway from the Twin Cities down into NE Iowa, I saw a HUGE sign on someone’s big front yard, naming the guy who’d done her wrong and calling him a lying, cheating bastard. If I’d had a camera back then, I probably would have pulled over to take a picture. The letters had to be painted pretty big in order for me to read the whole thing as I drove by at 50-60 mph. I rarely go that route, only when I’m going to that part of Iowa, so by the time I had to go that way again, a couple of years later, it was gone.

You’re welcome for this pointless post.

  This is the second time you’ve told us about something PAN-worthy, but didn’t have the picture of it. In beginning to think you’re a tease!

  I AM a tease! BUT: If the boyfriend and I run errands as part of date night tonight, I will ask him to stop at the corner to take a picture of crazy neighbor’s signs on his property! AT christmas, the guy decorates the borders with lights. : )

No, no.

The person who wrote the sign is the man who was cheated on. The person he is describing is his wife, who cheated on him with a man that…

That’s why “she did – but I wouldn’t”.

That dog in the bottom right corner of the picture looks pretty interested. Probably because that sign is blocking access to his favorite piss-spot. Which begs the question: why is this sign posted on a bush?

I hope for his sake, the ex-husband swung up to Washington for the 17 year old as 18 is the age of consent in Oregon. This story could get far more dramatic very fast.

Yaknow, that was a perfectly good box before she ruined it with her missive. I weep for the box.

  You are looking at it all wrong. She recycled it into a sign. When the divorce is final, the court will most likely award this sign, and nothing else, to the cheating husband. He will then use it as a nap mat when he’s homeless and living on the street. She gave new life to that old cardboard box. She’s to be commended.

  But it wasn’t an “old” cardboard box, and it wasn’t “recycled” — that was a brand new box! The little tab that holds the top flaps open until you’re ready to close them is even still intact. (It’s below “WITH” / above “AND” on the second/third panels.)
