So I’m milling around in the house of a person who is either moving, dead, or dead and still moving, aka I’m at an estate sale. And bam. There it is. A clever little sign. It says thus aloud: I is Retired / No Business / No Prospects / No Phone / No Orders / No Money / No Worries / When I feel the urge to work – I lay down, to the urge passes.

A weird way of putting it, I’d say.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, you know I posted a sign sort of like this, basically in the same family as this, a bunch of weeks ago. This text is from that, and also applies to this.

Quite the claimz. I do like signs like this. From around, whaddya say, the 1950s through the 60s? Signs that have quips, poems, pictures, one-frame comics that say a little something in general about men, women, spouses, or children. Also they might say something about drinking if they’re on the wall at a bar, or about coffee if they sit at a diner. Search for “Quips” in the search bar above to see more thangs like this. (NOTE: if this post is relatively new, there might not be any other examples yet, but if this post has been around for a while, you might be in for a lucky stars treat.)

This post is in the World Famous Design Junkies weird category, not to mention the World Famous Design Junkies wood category. What a wild and wacky world!
