"Here's Your Sign" Moments

[GAC]

I can't count how many times someone has approached me in a truck stop parking lot and upon seeing the plates on the van will ask me, "Are you from Ohio?"

Tell then the van is, but you're not. That'll really get them to thinkin'. :

My youngest puts a pizza in the oven and asks me how long to cook it. I say 15 minutes. It'll be done at 4:45.

4:45? I thought it would be done at a quarter till five?

Tell then the van is, but you're not. That'll really get them to thinkin'. :

My dad lives in Kentucky, but drives a company van that has Ohio plates and when we went on vacation we rented an RV from an Ohio dealership. Of course, when we arrived at our destination, we rented a car with North Carolina plates.

Also, I'm here in KY, but my neighbors have 4 cars, all still with Ohio plates on them.

I suppose it's normal to assume that the plates and the home state of the driver are the same, but I bet it's not uncommon for that not to be true.


And I agree with the thought that a lot of comments like these are conversation starters/acknowledgements as people try to say something besides the usual "Monin'" or "Hello." (such as "hot enough for ya" when it's 90 stinking degrees outside.)

A man boarded a plane with 6 kids. After they got settled in their seats a woman sitting across the aisle from him leaned over to him and asked, 'Are all of those kids yours?'


He replied, 'No. I work for a condom company. These are customer complaints.


Here's your sign...
