I haven’t posted lately, unsure how to respond to the sorry state of the world. Yes, I know the world is always in a sorry state, but to me the current moment seems worse than usual. How can a blog about silly signs respond? The answer I arrived at comes from the fact that I’m a teacher. Reader, can you determine what grade I’m giving the World by reading these signs?
This was on the window of an empty shop:
Got it? If not, here’s another clue:
By now you know, but I can’t resist showing you these, the first from a 24-hour restaurant and the second from a bagel shop:
Yes, World, your grade is D-. It’s that high only because I’m being lenient. I hope you, dear reader, are moved to show your fellow humans and your planet that they’re loved, that the fix-it department is never closed, and that you’ll make things better not by returning to the past but by employing the best, old-fashioned tools: hard work, commitment, and — this time rightly without a D, love.
Beautifully said.
Thanks!
The problem is that 49.97% of the U.S.presidential electorate would agree with your grade but for different reasons. 🙁
True. It’s not much consolation, but if you count eligible voters who didn’t cast a ballot, it’s down to around 38%.
Absolutely, and I do! Thanks for continuing to do this – we can all use a good laugh these days!
Thanks, Dave!
