signs for cue shops or pool rooms

[cuesmith]

Didn't pay attention to whether or not they were hanging this year, but I get a chuckle over the "NO NO GAMBLING" signs adorning the walls and support columns down in "The Pit" at Valley Forge.

The double-negative gets everyone going in the right direction. :grin-square::

There was a time when the vice squad in Cincinnati had nothing better to do than bust bars that allowed people to gamble on the pool tables. They even got so bad as to claim it was gambling for the incoming player to put quarters on the pool table. I had a sign in my bar/poolroom that had this on it:
NO GAMBLING ALOUD!

There was this pool hall in town, many, many years ago and on the second floor of the same building was one of those houses of ill repute we've all heard so much about.
Well, one very cold and wintery night a young man and young lady were so caught up in their lovemaking that they inadvertantly crashed through the upstairs window, landing on the street below, and knocking themselves unconscious. It wasn't long before they froze completely, still wrapped in each others loving embrace.
Two drunks happen to come stumbling by and saw the frozen lovers lying on the street.
"Do you want to go inside and tell them, or do you want me to?" Said the first drunk.
"Tell them what?" Said the second.
"That their sign fell down." Said the first. :grin:

I worked with a guy that had a sign up next to his desk that read 'There is no problem that can't be fixed with massive amounts of explosives.'

The owners asked him -gently-to take it down.

This guy was/is bi-polar, you never knew how his day was going to go.

Speaking of signs, there used to be a little pick-up truck I encountered pretty regularly on the expressway. Apparently we worked the same hours. Anyway, the truck was covered in bumper stickers, Vietnam Vet, POW/MIA, USMC, a few others that left no doubt that he had been on the ground fighting in 'nam and still carried it with him. It wasn't all of these things that made me careful to be a courteous driver around him, the final kicker was a personalized license plate that read PROZAC.

Found on the desks of tin pot dictators everywhere, and some AZB NPR posters:grin:

These two favorites hang in my home pool room.

"Billiards and Sex;
Two things you can really enjoy without being that good at it."

"Everyone who enters this place makes us happy.
Some when they arrive;
some when they leave."

One more non-pool related, but I found it hilarious:

Some friends, maybe 2 months ago, sent me a photo they took while driving down the Long Island Expressway.

It was an early 90's brown Cadillac with two or three windows smashed, some still with spider-web glass in them, also there were big, obviously recent dents, in an otherwise pretty-nice condition car, and in big letters emblazened across the back window it said:

BABY MAMA DRAMA!

At least the guy had a sense of humor about it.

Funny stuff!

It's funny the first time

An old pool hall in a midwest small town...
Over the urinal...you entered through a swinging half door...

PLEASE DO NOT THROW TOOTH PICKS IN THE URINAL
OUR CRABS CAN POLE VAULT

OK, I can see where this is going

Two more from the bathroom. Popcorn was a grouchy old bar owner with I think four pool tables and naked dancing ladies, a perfect match for a youngster! His sign in the bathroom just said,

"Hit the Hole or Drag Up, popcorn

It always struck me as funny after the first six or eight beers. Of course the neighboring bar wasn't as kind, their sign said,

"Stand Close, it is Shorter Than You Think!"
