Popular Post shootingstar Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 12, 2020 Dropped by a bakery today for my latte. On its door was this sign below. I had no idea our organization even produced this eye-catching sign for public. 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted September 12, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2020 I think it's a state law in Maryland that at least every 5th sentence has to end in the word, "Hon," short for "Honey," and the word can be applied to anyone: same sex, opposite sex, young and old, as in, "Can I take your order, Hon?" or "Don't get wet in the rain, Hon." So, one day, someone took a 4x8 sheet of plywood, spray painted "Welcome to Baltimore, Hon!" and propped it up on the grass in the middle of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway just as you entered the city. Unfortunately, it was taken down to huge protest and not replaced with a professional sign with the same words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use of honey, by service people for any customer of any gender, is quite American....to me. It's noticeable to me as a Canadian when I am in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. Is that issued by The Ottawa Ministry of Silly Walks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
