100 Days of Happiness - Day 54

[dizzojay]

I haven't been able to take a photo, because I've been driving every time I see it, but each night I drive past a butchers shop on my way home.  They have a blackboard standing outside the shop, and every day there is a different advertising message written on the blackboard.

All I can say, is someone in the shop has a great sense of humour.

Here is a selection from the last couple of weeks:

TRY YOUR BUTCHER'S SAUSAGE
GAME BIRDS STUFFED HERE
CHECK OUT OUR TENDER RUMP
PLUMP BIRDS WITH JUICY BREASTS
ENJOY OUR HOT TONGUE
PHEASANT PLUCKERS HERE
WHETHER YOU WANT A SWEET YOUNG CHICK OR AN OLD TROUT, WE CAN HELP

 ... and a lot more that I can't remember!


Always gives me a naughty little smile on the way home - I wonder if they read fanfiction?

*points to her icon* I think I'd like to enjoy the tongue, followed by the sausage! :D

Fabulous, hun, no wonder you get to have a secret smile on your way home.

Hey, here's a thought, maybe you could write a fic using their slogans as prompts and tape it to their board on your way past one evening. ROFL!

Hee hee sounds more like they're Carry On fans!! Very amusing though. There used to be a butcher's near my uncle's called Arthur Cock. It made me giggle every time, seems he had a nasty accident with the meat cleaver!!

There's a fangirl working in that shop somewhere, I think. If they don't read fanfiction, maybe they should try writing some? :)

You need to go back and take a picture of that sign - I want to see the rest of the sayings!

Sounds like the eye-opener on the chalkboard at the local Starbucks this winter -

"Christmas Blend - tastes like Santa!"

One of the pharmacists I work with's daughter has married a handsome Korean dentist named Au (OW!) every time she starts about "her son-in-law, Dr. Au" I have to walk away because there is just something funny about a dentist named Au.

*Giggles* My fave ever sign was, "Wives, fully equipped husband creche run here. Food, drink and football. Go shopping and don't worry about the old git. Love the White Lion Staff" ;)

Ahh the joys of the English sense of humour, pure Carry on with a dash of saucy postcard thrown in. But if not I'm sure someone of the staff at least reads fan fiction.

Very funny. They definitely do have a way with words. I would come in and buy something with that kind of advertising.
