Hee hee.

That's both hilarious and pitiful.

Hand-lettered signs are always comedy gold. Well, call it about 11 times out of 12, anyway.

That makes me sad for a lot of different reasons.

Sorry
We out of playoffs

Sorry
We out of playoffs

Too soon, Wolfdog. Too soon.

Burger King running out of meat is like Tire Warehouse running out of tires. How is that even possible? It's right there in your NAME, dammit.

Although that's exactly the kind of sign I would put on the door while I have the manager tied up in the back and all the employees in the walk-in while I ransacked the place.

Just sayin'.

Now I want a Whopper.

I want Arby's. Desperately.

2 Beef Bacon & Cheddar. 2 Chicken Cordon Blue. 2 orders loaded potato bites. 2 orders jalapeno bites. Jamocha shake.

Please help.

I'd settle for the jamocha shake.

After Hurricane Gustav this past year, the Burger King was one of the first restaurants to open back up. Their inventory was severely depleted, so they only had a few options to offer. I drove up in the drive-through and was greeted with, "WecomaBurgKang, ain't no Whoppa Meat or fries."

"Um, okay." I said, "What do you have?"

"EVERYTHING ELSE, SIR."

"Um. Okay. Do you have any hamburger meat?"

"Ain't NO WHOPPER MEAT!"

"Okay," I said. "Can I get a chicken sandwich?"

"They not ready." she said.

"What can I get?"

"EVERYTHING. YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING EXCEPT FRIES AND WHOPPER MEAT!"

"And chicken."

"WE GOT CHICKEN IT JUST AIN'T COOKED!"

"Look," I said, "I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but if your chicken is not ready, you shouldn't really say that it's available."

Silence.

"Hello?" I asked.

And then, I'll never forget this: She said, "You can just leave if you ain't happy with what we got."

"Look, look, look," I said. "Give me anything you have. I'll buy whatever food is ready to be served. I don't care."

I got several bags of onion rings, a flat ice-less coke, and a cheeseburger (which, for some reason was rung up as a chicken sandwich. Whatever.)

At a Subway once I was told they were out of bread.

We ran out of pepperoni yesterday at the chain pizza store...BEFORE the playoff game!

Which was actually a lot better than running out and having to get more DURING. But still.

From the comments, by "PunditGuy"

The lack of a form of the verb "to be" is consistent, suggesting a pidgin version of English rather than just poor grammar. Plus, homophones are incredibly difficult for non-native speakers.

If this sign was written (in much better handwriting than mine, by the way) by someone for whom English is a second language, I'm willing to cut them some slack. If this is someone who just wasn't paying attention in school for 12-13 years, then I share everyone's tears.

But yeah, clearly this sign spells the downfall of modern society. Soon we is all be outta meet, aw hell naw.

reminds me of the time I told my father-in-law, in Greek, that "I like the beautiful testicles". I actually meant poppies, but whevs - it's a good way to make new friends.

I knew there was something I liked about you, taz. Would you like to come upstairs and look at my etchings?
