Signs of the Times?

     This sign behind a supermarket loading dock cracked me up: “Pickup Location.” Is this a dating service?
     Other signs that have made me chuckle:
     On a Texas interstate, a sign for an upcoming “Safety Rest Area,” then neon yellow signs warning “Watch for Rattlesnakes.”
     Outside the entrance to a memory care unit: “Future Resident Parking.” You think I’ll park there?
     In a women’s restroom: “I childproofed my house, but they still get in.”
     A Colorado sign warning “Post No Signs. Underground Irrigation.” They broke the rule to announce the rule.
     A sign for those who don’t want to hurt their dogs’ feelings that they are “owned”: “Dog ‘Guardians’ - Dogs Must Be Leashed…”
     
In Washington, “The Northwest Man” store with a “Sale” sign. I can buy a Northwest man on sale?
     An Alabama church for those offended by other congregations: “Perfect Alternative Baptist Church.”
     Motivation to stop at a South Dakota drugstore: “Coffee 5 Cents.”
​     
Upon entering Louisiana: “Welcome. If You’re Here to Commit a Crime, Turn Around.”
     Two Mississippi stores adjacent to each other: “Guns and Ammunition” and “Sewing Circle.”
     A sign in a New Mexico canyon: “Rocks Falling.” Should I duck?
     A rest stop sign extolling Wyoming’s “vast seas of grass,” while the turf next to it is artificial. What happened to the real stuff?
     
And a sign at the drop-off area at an elementary school: “Hug & Go Zone.” We could all use a zone like that before we leave the house in the morning.
