Signs, back in the day
 

Let's hear of the catchy signs you remember seeing, "back in the day".

I'll start w/one I remember seeing in the old barber shop/pool room, "No swearing, especially when children are around"

No caulks in the bar!
Also just “no caulks “ in the entrance of grocery stores.

Caulks ... that made me laugh. Some of the towns in Notthern Michign were said to "roll up" the wooden plank sidewalks when the boys were coming to town.

From the office of my high school gym teacher”: Winners necer cheat, and cheaters never win.

From Henry Ford, supposedly in his office: “ The honor of a mechanic is that he works just as hard when the Boss is away as he does when the Boss is near.”

Eat a live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

I recall that one of the teachers in the high school that I attended had this posted on his chalk board the first day of school one year:

"He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, usually winds up in this class. ..."
