The song tells us that everyone was kung fu fighting, but as this El Arroyo sign says, there’s no way it was everyone. There would have been mass panic – the fights would have spilled into bars, hockey arenas, and homes of male feminists – places where there is never physical violence!
El Arroyo has taken a stand since they’re tired of people overstating just how prevalent the kung fu fighting was. Thanks for raising a good point, El Arroyo, you mysterious leader of the funny signs industry. Maybe one day you will tell us some useful information.
To Serve Man
This is the kind of sign that gets the restaurant trending, but not exactly for the right reason. Of course, the sign wants you to eat there...but what's that they're serving? Ah. Well. Maybe uh... I'm not really into that sort of thing. I mean, certainly, I'm sure they taste good. You wouldn't broadcast that sort of offer without getting the recipes perfect.
Uh, hey officer, could you go in and ask to talk to Jessica? Maybe ask a few questions? Ask about the kids? Yeah, because...yeah. The sign. Of course, that's just the name of the restaurant probably. Probably. Please just be the name.
Not a Secret Anymore
We expect better of you, Wendy's. You say that your burger meat is always fresh, never frozen, but you've just let slip the secret. Wendy, are you sure your name isn't...Jessica (DUN dun DUUUUUUN)? And you're even hiring right now, which means you must be running out of patties.
All jokes aside, this is in somewhat poor taste (despite how good Wendy's food usually tastes), since a famous news story from 2005 revealed a visitor found a finger in her bowl of chili – yet it was revealed this was a hoax, and the visitor herself was arrested. But still, Wendy's, please change the sign.
Hokey Pokey
Addiction is a struggle many people have to deal with. This sign-writer has made sure he or she is on the path to recovery by recognizing how important control over your own life is, and how important to the people around you – hang on, I've been handed a note. Let's see...hokey pokey... right-hand in... right-hand out...oh.
Oh. Well, come on now, the sign is making light of a very serious situation that a lot of people are struggling with. Hokey Pokey addiction is no laughing matter – hang on I've got another note. Oh. At least everything went well in the end.
Another Clue?
El Arroyo drip-feeds the masses with little scraps of knowledge about themselves. Now they're telling us that "anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant." What could it mean? Are the tacos El Arroyo selling made of the other, other, other white meat? Are they part of the illicit ivory trade, or are they part of the destructive and sad elephant-poaching industry?
Oh why hello there, the kindly officer of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, why don't you come this way? Yes, it is a funny sign, but why don't you take a look inside? Look at the wastebaskets – I've heard they turn ivory into wastebaskets.
