People Share Signs That Are Absolutely Unhinged and We Can’t Help But Laugh

This article was originally published on travellergazette.com

We are inundated with signs, advertisements, and commercials everywhere we turn. Some experts estimate that the average American sees upwards of 10,000 ads a day. That’s a lot of signage! Thankfully, not all signs are trying to sell you something. There are some hidden gems among all the noise that help brighten our day and make us laugh. Of course, there’s a Facebook group called Absurd Signs dedicated to the most hilarious signs found out in the wild. These photos are sure to put a smile on your face and break up the monotony of boring ads and informative plaques that we see every day of our lives.

#1: No Shrinkage Here!

This Subway decided to give up and just put the most unhinged message on their signboard one winter. It reads, “Our subs are six inches even when it’s cold outside.” Oh my! This store’s manager must have been on vacation because there’s no way corporate would have approved this message.

At least it’s true, right? A Subway six-inch sub will always and forever be six inches. Until you eat it. Other people’s six-inchers? Not so much. There’s no shame in that, but it’s not really a fair comparison. Have no idea what we’re talking about? Bless your innocent heart and soul

Alligators are pretty scary and deadly creatures. It seems obvious, but people should not go swimming in water where alligators are known to live. They will totally chew you up and spit you back out without a second thought. However, the existence of this sign tells us that more than a few people have no idea how dangerous alligators can be.

We’re guessing people kept diving into this watering hole despite the constant warnings from officials. So, they decided to get graphic. Guess what? If you go swimming, you’ll be giving the local alligators a yummy snack of arms and legs. If asking nicely doesn’t work, fear tactics are a nice approach.

Every town has that one business that always has the best signs. Berger Auto Service in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is one of those gems of a business. Someone snapped a photo of this creative sign that reads, “25 years ago, we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Steve Jobs. Now, no cash, hope, or jobs. Please God, don’t let Kevin Bacon die.”

Truer words have never been spoken, Berger Auto Service. If Kevin Bacon passes on anytime soon, we don’t think we’ll be able to cope. Bacon is one of the last few joys left in life, especially in this economy. We have to find the moments of happiness whereever and whenever we can.

This poor Chinese restaurant has seen some things if this is the kind of permanent sign they have on their window. They were driven to the point of having to clarify that an “all you can eat” buffet does not mean that customers can stay and eat all day long. Yikes. Did they really get customers who tried to stay for four hours and multiple meals?

An “all-you-can-eat” buffet is already pretty generous. Customers shouldn’t be trying to cheat the system in order to get even more food. Whatever happened to taking home leftovers? Our favorite line of this sign is, “You eat– you go home.” Ain’t that the truth! No one likes a moocher

“Out of Order” signs are usually pretty standard and boring. However, this creative sign at the Euston railway station in London threw us for a loop. Most people walking around the station probably saw a broken escalator and turned around in frustration without reading the sign. Those who were paying attention were in for a real treat.

“This escalator is refusing to escalate,” the sign read, “This has been escalated to the engineer who is on their way up (or down) to check it out.” We are literally laughing out loud. We’ve never seen a sign that escalates so quickly. The best part is that this sign appears to be permanent. That means the Euston station made the sign, had it approved, and professionally printed it for repeated use. We love it.

We always see “beware of dog” signs everywhere. But what about cats? They must feel left out sometimes. As we’re all aware, cats can be just as intimidating and scary as dogs. This property owner and animal lover knows this all too well. They took matters into their own hands and made a special sign for their shady cat.

Don’t underestimate the cat on the premises. They may look cute and cuddly, but they can throw shade with the best of them. We love how the cat’s sign is way bigger than the dog’s sign. We all know which animal runs the show at this establishment. Hint: it’s not the dog.

The maker of this sign is a man of many talents. He can do it all, from pumping septic tanks to filling swimming pools. Wait… we don’t really like that those two things are paired together. That’s totally gross! Okay, we kept reading the sign, and our worries were soothed. According to the sign, it’s not the same truck.

You gotta appreciate a sign that can convey so much with so few words. It’s poetry, really. With these simple nine words, we know everything we need to know about this man’s independent business. Next time you think about septic tanks and swimming pools, think about this guy.

We love a double entendre as much as the next person. This sign is so funny and inappropriate that it’s hard to believe it’s real. But it looks pretty real to us. The message is pretty simple and straightforward. It simply says, “Family Planning Advice. Use rear entrance.” It would be pretty self-explanatory if it wasn’t so suggestive.

If you get it, you understand that this sign could be providing family planning advice all on its own. Wow. Just think. Someone wrote out this sign, had it approved, and then had it professionally made for the business. Clearly, no one stopped to think of the immature double meaning that most visitors would find when they read it. 

Have you ever read a sign and wondered, “Wow. What happened to cause such a sign to exist?” This is one of those signs. As we can see, there’s a basket of obviously fake granny smith apples in a store. There’s no other food around. But the store had the need to put a handwritten sign that read, “These apples are NOT real. Don’t try to eat them.”

At the end, the manager wrote, “I can’t believe I have to write this sign.” We can’t believe it either. How many people visited this store and found these perfect, fake apples completely irresistible? Who takes a bite of an apple IN a store before buying it, real or not? We’d like to keep our faith in humanity, but it’s not looking good.

If you ever had your doubts that anyone actually reads submissions to a suggestion box, this is cold hard proof that no one cares. Some office jokester livened things up by putting a “Suggestion Box” sign on their handy dandy paper shredder. We love it when office employees get passive-aggressive like this.

At this office, there’s no use pretending that suggestions are welcome. They’re not. You might as well put your suggestion card in its final resting place: your boss’s paper shredder. At least they’re being honest. No one wants to read your “helpful” suggestion anyway, Karen. Straight into the trash it will go.

There has been talk for decades about robots taking our jobs. It seems like that won’t be happening anytime soon. At least according to this sign. If this warning sign is any indication, robots don’t want to work these days, either. This restaurant is currently experiencing a shortage of competent robots, so they have to hire old-fashioned humans.

What a drag. Instead of flawless, efficient work, their human employees are actual people who make mistakes and don’t like being verbally abused by customers. What a novel concept. We appreciate this sign because it seems like customers forget that service workers have feelings, too. It’s not their fault if they’re provoked to react unpredictably, as this sign suggests.

Here’s a pro tip for customers: Don’t tell employees or business owners how to do their job. The person who made this sign was fed up with customers thinking they knew more than him. Naturally, he put up this hilarious sign. There’s no better way to get your message across than with humor.

If you tell this guy how to do his job, you’re in for some serious repercussions. This business owner is not responsible for any bodily injuries that may come to a mouthy customer. If a wrench goes flying through the air after a snippy comment, it’s every man for himself. It’s best to keep that mouth shut, or else this sign will become a reality. 

Some businesses are cash only, while others are card only. This place does not discriminate. In fact, they seem to accept anything and everything under the sun as a form of payment. Out of cash? Credit or debit is fine. Your card got declined? They’ll take pure gold or uranium, too.

If all else fails, you can dip into your inventory of goats or psychedelics. If you want to leave a tip, consider a goat on shrooms. Despite this comprehensive list of payment options, we are left with one burning question. Do they accept crypto? We don’t see it on this list, but it’s worth an ask, right?

Jeff’s Auto Repair isn’t like other auto garages. Sure, they’re a AAA-approved auto repair shop, but that’s not the best of it. Jeff’s Auto Repair is the one place you can get your oil changed while pondering a deep philosophical question. On the day this photo was taken, the question was, “What if UFOs are just billionaires from other planets?”

Considering that billionaires on our planet are spending time and money launching themselves into space, that’s not a bad question. What if the UFOs we see really are billionaires from other worlds? One thing is for sure. They definitely don’t want to land and live here if that’s the case. Their home planet is probably much nicer. But with less signage, probably.

Park bench dedications are usually sweet, poignant, and kind-hearted. Someone named Roger Bucklesby would have hated all three of those adjectives. Whomever Roger Bucklesby was, he was quite a character. We can tell because his park dedication plaque is like nothing we’ve ever read before. It says, “In memory of Roger Bucklesby, who hated this park and everyone in it.”

We feel you, Roger. Either he was the grouchiest, most beloved old man at that park, or his family members were sadistic jokesters who wanted to have the last laugh. What if Roger really did hate that park? If that is truly the case, this is the most hilarious form of petty revenge we’ve ever seen.

The unnecessary use of quotations is a weird thing. It seems to be a remnant of an older time when the use of quotations meant emphasis instead of irony. Sometimes younger generations will see boomers and elders use quotations in ways that seems ominous, flabbergasting, and downright baffling. This sign is a perfect example.

If you read “Great” Food, you probably interpret that as an extremely sarcastic phrase. Is the food so “great” that it’s horrible? It’s not exactly comforting. We have a feeling that whoever made this sign was trying to emphasize the word “great.” Sadly and hilariously, it has the opposite effect. There’s no way we want to eat here voluntarily.

We love a snarky Halloween decoration. People really love getting creative with what they have on hand. The guy who made this sign definitely won his neighborhood’s Halloween decor competition. He spraypainted a piece of plywood with his “Halloween Special.” You can buy a body for the low, low price of $5.

Not good enough? You can hire him to bury a body “really deep” for $10. Don’t believe him? There’s his tractor, ready to go and dig up some dirt. This whole setup is genius and so well done. We particularly love how the red spray paint dripped down to look like blood. It’s creepy and funny all at once.

We’ve never seen a more heartwarming photo of Satan. Here he is, doing a public service by giving out free hugs. He even has a sign to prove it. The sign is so different from the vibe of his costume that we can’t help but laugh. It’s simultaneously heartwarming and scary. We’re actually kind of confused about the feelings we’re feeling right now.

Overall, he seems pretty friendly. This young girl doesn’t seem afraid of Satan. She’s totally excited to receive a free hug! The sign says “free,” so we’re assuming people don’t have to give up their souls in exchange for a nice hug. Hmm, okay. Maybe we should trust the sign. We’ll take 666 hugs, please.

The El Arroyo sign in Austin, Texas, is famous for its witty, hilarious, and one-of-a-kind sign messages. The restaurant’s sign is so famous that it has its own merch line! As you can see, this photo is of an El Arroyo ornament that someone bought when visiting. The message is a pretty clever one.

It says, “I don’t always roll a joint, but when I do it’s my ankle.” Ha! We want one of these ornaments for ourselves, if we’re being honest. Getting old and being clumsy are two things that happen to us all. We’ve never related more to a famous sign. Thanks, El Arroyo, for being the most relatable sign author out there.

Pet owners know how important it is to love your vet. We don’t know about you, but we wish this veterinarian was our local office. That sign shows us that they know how to have a good time while at work. It says, “Free belly rubs with exam…sorry pets only and Jason Momoa.” We can 100% get behind this sign.

Hey, vet techs. If Jason Momoa happens to see your sign and stops in, can you call us? We might have a sudden emergency that we need to bring our dog in for…We don’t mind sitting in the waiting room for a while. At least the view will be nice.

We have a sneaking suspicion that a dog wrote this traffic alert sign. If you were driving down the highway in Delaware and saw this sign, we have a feeling you would think the same thing. It reads, “Don’t drive distrac… Squirrel!” Oh, the irony. The funniest part is that this sign was an official traffic alert written by the city or county.

If you have a dog, you know this sign is all too accurate. While funny, it’s also true. We need to try our best not to be like our beloved dogs. Getting distracted by a squirrel while driving can be catastrophic. We’ll leave that diversion to the dogs. They do a better job of chasing the squirrels down, anyway.

This sign is as hilarious as it is disturbing. It’s a grocery store advertisement for yellow bananas. The thing is, this sign felt the need to specify that the bananas are boneless. We would hope they would be! Otherwise, we have some serious questions. Imagine biting into a banana only to find a hard bone in the middle. 

Gross. What prankster at the grocery store made this sign? We’d like to give them a round of applause. Grocery shoppers were probably left scratching their heads that day as they reached for some fresh bananas. We love it when a sign snaps us out of our everyday routines and assumptions.

Some people hate cilantro. It’s the truth. Before you cilantro lovers begin to judge these people, it’s important to realize that the reason they may hate it so much is probably genetic. Some people are born with a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap. It’s tragic, we know. Chipotle sympathizes with these poor souls.

They created a special parking sign for cilantro haters that allows them to park right up front. According to the sign, “It’s the least we can do.” That’s very kind of Chipotle. Some people will never know the joy of biting into a cilantro-laden burrito. These people deserve some good things in life, like a shorter walk into their favorite restaurant.

We love a nihilistic sign. Vince the Sign Guy is serving some major truths with this gem. We’re not sure who Vince is, but his sign reads, “Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.” Ain’t that the truth, Vince? Why is simply existing so expensive these days?! What’s the point of it all? What are we even doing here?

Despite all the challenges we face on a daily basis and across the world, living remains popular. No one knows why. We love the sarcastic tone of this sign. Sometimes, the only way to cope is through humor and laughing in the face of adversity. Wow. Who knew Vince the Sign Guy would make us feel so introspective?

Bikers and hikers beware. It seems the alligators in Florida have become more advanced than their ancestors. They now know how to make really convincing signs. As you can see, this roadside sign reads, “Hikers and bikers, move to the side of the road when a vehicle approaches.” The thing is, the side of the road is infested with alligators lying in wait.

This seems all too convenient. The alligators just happen to be hanging out near this sign? How would they know to lay around here and wait for their prey if they didn’t make and approve this sign, hm? Florida alligators are on another level. We’re terrified but awestruck at the same time.

Denny’s likes to advertise itself as “America’s diner.” To make themselves even more appealing, they like to brag that they’re “always open.” We can see right through their lies because of this sign. Their “always open” slogan is hanging right below the bright yellow and red sign. But there’s something else. The letterboard sign has one simple word on it: CLOSED.

A more tragic picture of an American landscape has never been taken. How are we supposed to move on with our day when America’s one and only diner is closed? Well, some people might be happy that this Denny’s location is closed. We’ve heard some horror stories about late-night Denny’s runs. Maybe this sign is for the best.

Someone of an older generation definitely arranged these banners outside a church. The signs advertise “worship, teaching, and friends,” but the acronym spells out “WTF.” This church absolutely does not have anyone younger than 65 on its staff. If they did, they wouldn’t have hung up the signs in that order.

We’re kind of glad they did, though. It’s not every day you get to see a house of worship celebrating the famously vulgar acronym. This is pretty iconic. We wouldn’t be surprised if this sign actually drew in more visitors because of its racy implications. This church is cutting-edge and controversial without even trying that hard.

Every sign has a purpose. If you doubt that, just take a look at this photo. Someone hand-wrote a sign that says, “Check for cat arm b4 closing,” and taped it inside the communal family fridge. This may seem like a totally unhinged sign until you notice that there is, in fact, a cat arm reaching into the fridge.

That cat is desperate for snacks and will risk it all for a quick bite. We need to know how many times that cat’s arm got squished by the fridge door before someone felt compelled to make that sign. We have to hand it to this cat. They are nothing if not persistent in their desire for a sneaky snack.

Most people have the usual bumper stickers on their cars, like those stick-figure families, for instance. This person decided to take a different, more unique route. It reads, “There’s no reason to tailgate me when I’m doing 50 in a 35. And those flashing lights on top of your car look ridiculous.” In case you didn’t catch on, they’re talking about getting pulled over by a cop for speeding!

This is a pretty funny way for someone to acknowledge that they’re a serial speeder. As long as they’re self-aware, right? We’re not sure where this anonymous driver found such a hilarious bumper sticker. If they made it, they should open an Etsy shop and start selling them. The orders would start flooding in, in our opinion.

We’ve all seen those silly images of people wearing tin foil hats. Heck, some of us may have even made fun of people who are into the handmade apparel. This grocery store decided to make a joke out of the whole thing as a new selling point for their aluminum foil. Instead of the usual sale sign, they printed out a sign that reads, “Free hat in every box.”

If we’re honest, it took us a second to realize the joke. How in the heck can a Reynold’s Wrap box fit a hat inside? Then we remembered our tin foil hat friends and immediately got the joke. Reynold’s Wrap not only comes in hand in the kitchen. It can also prevent mind control and electromagnetic fields from entering your brain. How nifty.

Giant corporations that make our everyday household items are usually pretty bare-bones and straightforward with packaging. Not this brand! Somehow, some way, this line got approved for printing onto the packaging of a broom. It reads, “Not suitable for flying.” There’s even a smiley face printed at the end of the line.

How iconic is that? Sabco is a giant company that has been making household cleaning products for decades. The reputation of the brand is what makes this silly product copy so surprising. We kind of love it. Maybe our next broom will be a Sabco broom, even though we can’t fly on it.

Intoxicated people can get up to some pretty wild shenanigans. Especially at a pub or bar. A pub in Edinburgh, Scotland, decided to embrace the alcohol-fueled liaisons that happen at their establishment. They installed this very long, very funny sign inside their bathroom. Yup, you read that correctly. Cubicle four is the one and only stall that people can hook up in.

While we doubt two newly introduced lovers would take the time to read this sign, we appreciate the clear boundaries and directions provided. They’re not banning hook-ups. They’re simply creating a safe space for others who just want to do their business in peace while out at a pub. We hope guests comply with the “quiet” guideline, but we doubt it.

Cyprus Airways is instilling confidence one flight at a time with this sign. Who wouldn’t want to board a plane with a welcoming sign like this? In all seriousness, this broken sign is a PR disaster. If Cyprus Airways can’t even keep a fake plane intact, how are they supposed to keep their actual planes safely operable?

We don’t have to worry about the answer to that question. Cyprus Airways went out of business in 2015. Whoops. Apparently, the sky was not the limit for this airline, and they took a financial nosedive. With a beautifully maintained airline sign like this, we can’t see why that happened.

Funeral costs are gosh darn expensive. According to USA Today, the average funeral costs over $6,000 as of 2023. That’s not nothing! In this economy, this prank gift is looking pretty appealing to many of us. It’s a coffee-can-turned-urn that reads, “Hello, my name was:” and has the subtitle, “our most modestly priced receptacle.”

Depending on your personal beliefs, this might seem like a pretty sweet deal. If you don’t mind where your remains lay after you pass, this “modestly priced receptacle” may be for you! At least they put some fancy-looking angels and filigree on the label. Plus, someone can label the urn with your name, so there will be no mix-ups or accidental ash switching going on in the afterlife.

Ovens. One has to bake pizzas while the other… Well, you already know what the other place does. The person who posted this online captioned it, “Do you think they share an oven?” and now we can’t stop thinking about it. In reality, we know that a pizza place and a crematorium use completely different ovens. But the thought of these two places next to each other makes our stomachs turn.

This funny signage is for those of us with a dark sense of humor. Someone found these two businesses living next to each other and simply had to take a photo. As you can see, there’s an Illinois cremation center and a pizza place right next to each other. What do these two businesses have in common?

The thing about signage is that it has to convey a simple message to a lot of people. Plenty of signs have to be universal, meaning that anyone can understand them regardless of the language they speak. This sign is definitely universal. It’s also terrifying. There’s no way in heck anyone is going to try and get over five people on that bridge.

No one, regardless of where they are from or what language they speak, wants to be the real-life version of that stick figure falling into oblivion. There’s nothing like universal sign design and the element of mortal fear to make people follow the rules. More signs should try this tactic.

One look at this sign, and it’s pretty clear that someone has strong feelings about plant-based milk. The bold type, the stark colors– it’s all very dramatic and eye-catching. The message, though? They could have workshopped it a bit more. “Nut milk is not milk” may look visually clever because of the similarity between “nut” and “not,” but it’s, er, not it.

This sign surely became the laughingstock of the neighborhood. Whether this sign was funded by a local cow milk zealot or the dairy industry, there’s no doubt that it didn’t convert very many people back to dairy. Most people probably had a good laugh and thought, “Hey, you know what? I feel like trying that new almond milk I saw at the grocery store last week.”

Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest topics at the moment. Even someone’s local business had a hot take on the whole thing. The sign reads, “Before we work on artificial intelligence, why don’t we work on natural stupidity?” Touché, random sign. Touché. While this sign is original and hilarious, it also makes a great point.

Humans doing dumb things is par for the course. Why don’t we take time to look within ourselves and improve our natural impulses to make dumb decisions? We’re getting too philosophical here. Anyway, this sign is pure genius. We would definitely visit a business if we saw this sign outside.

Encountering a wild animal, such as a cougar, while out hiking sounds like a pretty scary situation. If that cougar is an older woman on the prowl for a new guy to date? That’s even scarier! We’re kidding, of course. But we appreciate the lightheartedness of this nature sign. Everyone knows to beware of cougars while out hiking, but that last part is unexpected!

Men under 30 have been warned. Cougars of all types have been spotted on this specific trail. Unless you want to be a target, travel in a group. There’s safety in numbers, after all. We’ve heard some pretty crazy stories about the wild cougars out there. They really need to learn how to control themselves and rein it in. Sheesh.

There are some pretty creative street names out there in the world. This one might take the cake. Somewhere in the world, there is a street named “Psycho Path.” The city planners who named that sign were laughing their heads off. And yes, they were most definitely dads because this street name has “dad joke” written all over it.

We truly hope there’s an “Em Path” and “Socio Path” nearby to complete the collection. The wildest part of this whole photo is that the street sign looks like a legit, official sign. It’s not even a joke! Hopefully, the name of the street is not indicative of the people who live there.

Going to the bathroom in public is pretty gross. Oh, and it’s also illegal in various parts of the world. Public urination can have some serious legal consequences. But this sign is more concerning because it implies that there are serious physical consequences if a man is caught urinating in public.

That picture down below? Yup, that’s an infographic of a pair of eggs getting snipped. That’s a pretty harsh punishment for not being able to hold it in. The huge exclamation point at the end really drives home the point that this sign means business. Let’s all aim to wait until we’re home to go to the bathroom, lest we meet the fate outlined in this sign.

This door has completely given up on life. It doesn’t know if it opens with a pull or a push, so it took the middle ground. Instead of the usual directions, it reads “pullsh.” This is a perfect example of what indecisiveness will get you: nothing. How in the world is someone supposed to know how to open this door?

Maybe you have to pull it toward you and then quickly push in order to open it. Or maybe you have to push and pull at the same time. Is that physically possible? No, but the sign doesn’t care. At least it doesn’t say “pushll.” For some reason, that sounds way more confusing than “pullsh.

Oh no. Who’s going to tell the owners of this church? Take a look at the name across the front of the church. Are you blushing yet? We sure are! How did this church’s name come to be? We’re not sure which possibility is funnier. If the congregation had no idea what “glory hole” meant, or if they 100% knew but went ahead with the name anyway.

One thing’s for sure. This church center and charity shop gets a lot of curious foot traffic throughout the day. Who wouldn’t want to check out a church called “The Glory Hole?” Don’t lie. If you saw this while walking down the street, you’d at least peek in the window to see what was going on inside.

The heat can really make people give up on life. The poor soul who had to go out and change the letterboard sign at the First Baptist Church was truly and thoroughly over it. It says, “It’s too hot to change the sign. Sin bad, Jesus good.” The funny thing is that the first half of the sign probably took quite a bit of time.

At least it gets the message across. Sin = bad, and Jesus = good is really all you need to know in order to join the church. The messaging is simple yet effective. Plus, it lets congregants know that this church does not have the time to melt out in the sun for the sake of a well-thought-out sign. They have better things to do.

We can’t stop laughing at this photo. The label in that first photo is on the dinosaur pictured below. It seems that the typo on the label and the shape of this dino’s mouth are a match made in heaven. In a baffling turn of events, the label says our dino friend was manufactured in “Febtember” of 2019. 

Now look at that dinosaur’s mouth. Can’t you practically hear him saying “Febtember” with that doofy mouth of his?! He would probably call himself a “firanofaurof fex” instead of a tyrannosaurus rex. Some people might consider this little guy defective, but we think he’s just perfect. Also, we should make “Febtember” an official month.

Whoever created this sign is a brave soul. They are trying to live life without chocolate. They’re brave and generous enough to share notes from the field for those of us too afraid to give up such an essential delicacy. Surprisingly, they reached the twelfth day of no chocolate. Things sound bleak.

Day twelve without chocolate has brought this brave soul the loss of hearing in their left eye. Tragic. But also, this sounds impossible. Not that they lost hearing in their left eye but that they were able to go twelve whole days without a single bite of chocolate. Some people out there are just too strong.

We all know the famous rhyme. “I see London, I see France, I see someone’s underpants!” It’s a classic line that everyone somehow learns when they’re a kid. We’re surprised that this city has an intersection of streets called London and France. That’s just making it way too easy to embrace the rhyme.

We can’t help but wonder how long it took for someone to hang that pair of bloomers up on the street pole. Honestly? That street pole was just asking for a pair of underpants to be hung up there. Two streets named London and France? Come on. We kind of feel bad for the poor city official who has to repeatedly take down new pairs of underwear.

The embroidery on this hat is so unhinged that we can’t help but laugh. Either someone royally messed up, or it was a special prank order. It’s a completely out of order version of that fish proverb. You know the one. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

That’s very obviously not what this hat says. Now that we really read it, we have no idea what it’s trying to say. The origin of this hat was a mangling of the proverb falsely attributed to Joe Biden in 2021. Biden is known for jumbling his words, but he didn’t actually gaffe this proverb. It was simply a rumor that ended up with some pretty hilarious merch.
