I used to have a few signs from years back that I'd display on my workbench once in a while....

We do three types of job here, Good, Fast and Cheap - you may choose any two!

I have two speeds of work - if you don't like this one, then I'm sure you won't like the other!

There were five in total, but these two got the most airtime.

Hi bumpy, those 1939-45 signs made a huge comeback a few years ago and were all the rage, still going strong today.

I like them TBH.

I used to have a more direct version of this on my front door.

Hahahahaaaa.

Brilliant.

I have a sign as you walk into my flat, "Children left unattended will be sold to the Circus".

It mortified my older relatives but my kids and their pals love it.

These are great! Here are a couple I ran into over the years that stuck with me:

Seen in a motorcycle shop, posted over expensive helmets -- "If you got a 10 dollar head, buy yourself a 10 dollar helmet."

Seen in an auto repair shop -- "shop cost per hour: 30 dollars; if you watch, 35 dollars; if you help, 40 dollars.

The most common trespassing sign seen in America usually says something like this: "Trespassing Forbidden, Violators Will Be Prosecuted" While out for a motorcycle ride in a remote area I encountered this version: Trespassing Forbidden, Violators will be Prosecuted and Prosecutors will be Violated. (Apparently, he not only didn't like trespassers he disliked law enforcement even more.)

Saw this one in a gun store in Kansas City: "All bits and pieces of anyone caught shoplifting will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." (Well, it deterred me!)

I once saw a great sign on a store - "Shoplifters will be shot - survivors will be shot again"

Here are a couple of personal faves:

My favourite uncle had a couple of great sayings.

"If you don't know where to turn, stop the job and have a burn"
or
"If you you don't know what to do, stop the the job and have a brew"

Both of these have always served me well.

Saw this one the other week, thought it was quite funny.

Seen in a motorcycle shop, posted over expensive helmets -- "If you got a 10 dollar head, buy yourself a 10 dollar helmet."

It was Bell Helmets advertising slogan during the 1980's, when our best selling 'lids' were the Bell Star Ltd and the Bell Magnum.

 

[Chinkapin]

Helix...., That is very interesting. I have had several Bell Helmets over the years, but somehow missed that advertising slogan. The sign I saw was just a small hand-lettered one on about 1/4 sheet of poster board. I guess the proprietor was just ripping off someone else's slogan. I thought he was being very original and clever. LOL, guess not.

 

[maddave]

This one makes me giggle

Oh and this

I used to have "Can't is a four letter word" on a wall. I've seen "Violators will be violated" somewhere.

The best WW2 era sign I've seen is totally untranslatable (a pun on the fact that "tiger" in Swedish can mean both "says nothing" and a large striped east asian apex predator). The picture was a blue and yellow striped tiger.
