I always enjoy seeing the signs, with their earnest pitches and folk art. They tend to occur in sequences, too, because one sign just isn't enough to get you to pull over.
Today's sequence went like this:
Beef Jerky
Turkey Jerky
Gator Jerky
Cowboy Jerky
Do you think they use real cowboys?
It would be perfect with one more sign, for those of us old enough to remember, that says BURMA SHAVE.

Did you stop and get some????
ReplyDeleteOH man I would have been ALL OVER that Cowboy Jerky...wait was that x-rated just now? ...
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about road trips is keeping track of the funny things people sell as you drive along (eggs, rabbits, flowers, outboard motors, etc.). I've been known to keep track on a list that becomes a "poem" of the vacation.
Maybe this weekend I'll stop and get some cowboy jerky, if the signs are back. (I'm not even sure what it is.)
ReplyDeleteThe latest addition to roadside sales around here is a giant plywood crate with "Buy Me" and a phone number spray-painted on the side.
Ha! Those are funny.
ReplyDeleteIt's really scary when they sell "fresh" shrimp out of the truck of a car in western Kentucky, nowhere near an ocean.
