Signboards and notices can simply indicate the bare facts about their purpose; or sometimes the originator can enliven his with a bit of humour thereby making it more memorable. Some examples
Sign over a Gynaecologist’s Office: — “Dr. Jones, at your cervix.”
In a Chiropodists’ clinic — “Time wounds all heels.”
On a Septic Tank lorry: —- Yesterday’s Meals on Wheels
On a Plumber’s van: — “We repair what your husband fixed.”
On another Plumber’s van: — “Don’t sleep with a drip. Call your plumber.”
On an Electrician’s van: — “Let us remove your shorts.”
On a Maternity Room door: — “Push. Push. Push.”
At an Optician’s : — “If you don’t see what you’re looking for you’ve come to the right place;
On a Taxidermist’s window: — “We really know our stuff.”
In a Vets waiting room: — “Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!”
And don’t forget the sign at a
RADIATOR SHOP: — “Best place in town to take a leak.”
