Lots of Witty Advertisers

 A SIGN IN A SHOE REPAIR STORE IN VANCOUVER THAT READ:  "We will heel you, We will save your sole. We will even dye for you."


 Sign over a Gynecologist’s Office:  "Dr. Jones, at your cervix.”

In a Podiatrist's office:  "Time wounds all heels.”


On a Septic Tank Truck:  "Yesterday's Meals on Wheels"

At an Optometrist's Office:  "If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place.”

On a Plumber's truck:  "We repair what your husband fixed.”

 On another Plumber's truck:  "Don't sleep with a drip. Call your plumber.”

 At a Tire Shop in Milwaukee:  "Invite us to your next blowout.”

 On an Electrician's truck:  "Let us remove your shorts.”

 In a Non-smoking Area:  "If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and will take appropriate action.”

 On a Maternity Room door: "Push. Push. Push.”

 At a Car Dealership:  "The best way to get back on your feet - miss a car payment.”

 Outside a Muffler Shop:  "No appointment necessary. We hear you coming.”

 In a Veterinarian's waiting room:  "Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!”

 At the Electric Company:  "We would be delighted if you send in your payment on time. However, if you don't, YOU will be de-lighted.”

 In a Restaurant window:  "Don't stand there and be hungry; come on in and get fed up.”

 In the front yard of a Funeral Home:  "Drive carefully. We'll wait.”

 At a Propane Filling Station:  "Thank Heaven for little grills.”

Hi Marcia,
We found your posts about your new car particularly interesting as we too have looked at this particular brand and model. (We are feeling more and more an obligation to try to do something more environmentally friendly.) Would you mind doing an update on your car? Specifically, we are wondering if you have had occasion to drive in snow and if there have been any surprises—good or bad. Also, do you have any thoughts about the seeming increase in fire hazard with all cars that are either hybrid or completely battery powered.
Thank you for your time and efforts.
Irene
