There's an identical sign at Brea Lu in Portland, Maine. I always get a chuckle out of it.

I saw that sign in a tourist trap in Moab. I laughed out loud.

There's a cafe/antique store not far from me that has the same sign. I'll take the free puppy but I don't like coffee.

So you have to pay for the espresso, huh. Bastards.

That's funny. matildaben has my favorite sign sighting in recent memory, though.

Yeah, I just saw the espresso/puppy sign on Flickr (this time, from Cincinnati) when I added my helpdesk sign to the signs group today.

I read about a store that offered unattended kids free kittens--which turned out to be stuffed ones.

There's one of those at the Mt. Hood Roasters or cafe or whatever in Welches. It was the first time I saw one, and I roflmao'ed, and then wished I was an unattended children.
