Changing signs (1 Viewer)

Thinking about changing times and this sign came to mind. I used this when I was displaying a diorama at toy shows over the years, thought it was funny at the time, but these days it would not fly with the underlying inference. Such is life. Robin.

There is no truth in the rumour that this was taken from Warriors table at a toy soldier show !^&grin

Cant remember who said it but reminds me of a line from a comedian "I will punch you so hard it will hospitalise your mother". Anybody know where that comes from ?

If I had a dollar for every time someone mentioned those "Please do not touch" signs, I could retire from the toy soldier business.................:wink2:

A lot of good they do, figures still got clipped left, right and center at shows.

With this COVID ****show in full bloom, I spend an entire weekend packing all my show figure inventory back into the original boxes; when I was done, it was staggering how many ****ing empty boxes I had left over with no figure to go into the box.

Must have been all those times my show helper Larry took his four hour coffee break.............................^&grin

I dont care what anyone says, Smokey & The Bandit series are still some of our favorite family movies and we laugh our proverbial *** off every time we watch them. Truth be told, backstory, Jackie Gleason put a lot of humor in these to actually poke fun at how ridiculous racism was. In part 2 they make fun of the Klan, etc. Yes those were happier times when sensitivities were different. I saw an interview with Gleason years later on those movies. Mean Joe Greene actually collaborated on the scene where he flipped over the car and Gleason referenced busing. Today, that would not appear for fear of offending. Alas, tis a shame that a 40 year old movie would cause anyone grief. Context, context.

Thanks....................never thought in a million years it would happen, but there you go.

If I had to sum it up in a word, my word would be disappointing.

One thing about this pandemic, it had certainly revealed people's character.

....and I bet half of them have no idea what they're pinching either!

I've found over the years some low-life's will nick anything given the opportunity.

Its definitely disappointing and quite sad actually.
