come in, only don’t

 

This of course was not the only time I saw a place with signage proclaiming the place was open only to see about a million context clues that told me otherwise. But for some reason, the mixed message at this hapless place was more entertaining than any of the other ones.

a convenient target

 

Y’all know how it is: you see that sign right there by the road and there’s no one else around so you just decide to…shoot at it.

sometimes patriotism is blurry

I guess this guy feels prepared for whatever it is he fears. And I am pretty sure that he wasn’t a fan of me or my camera…..

giant/flag

 

This statue, along with many of his cousins, began life as advertisements for mufflers, which I guess used to fall off of cars that were driving along Route 66. Anyway, the mufflers are gone and have been replaced by various other things, including a flag. Because why not?

One of the best parts of driving the whole of Route 66 was spotting interesting, funny, and/or weird signs.

Based on the information on this sign, I suppose there are OTHER ropin’ flamingoes that aren’t on Route 66, but that’s actually hard to imagine.
