Odds and ends

Some totally random stuff I've forgotten to post at other times.

I saw this a couple of years back - can't, for the life of me, remember where. Cracked me up, though.
Is College Bad for Girls?
A BOOKLET BY E.J. RICHARDS, AVAILABLE FROM YOUR DOCTOR

A Personal Canvass ~ Articles:
Evils of Dormitory Life--Midnight Hours of Who Knows What?

Flirting & Speaking to Male Students Without Proper Introduction & Chaperone.

Reading Improper Novels, Magazines, and Other Suggestive Literature.

Forming of Unladylike Habits that May Harm the Health & Morals of a delicate Girl--Such as Smoking and Card Playing

Billboard near my hotel in Montreal.

 
The smaller print on the sign says, "Specialising in Original Mexican Recepies."


CHINESE FOOD, the writing on the storefront promises. The hanging sings welcomes you to "J. GEORG E'S DONUTS TERIYAKI & HAMBURGER." None of which is Chinese.

And, my favorite:
"Live" lobster? Are the characters on the left side a citation, or are they serving zombie crustaceans?

And, finally, the best in modern scooter theft deterrent:

For some reason, this cracks me up every time I see it.


FROM THE FILES OF THE FASHION POLICE
No. Just no.

From bad...                                                                                                         ...to worse     
 


So much worse.
