NO TRESSPASSING: VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT, SURVIVORS WILL BE PROSECUTED This parcel of fenced up land belongs to a grumpy individual or paranoid corporation that has expressed the wish to see his / her / its property undisturbed by the coming and going of uninvited third parties such as your sorry self. If you did not receive formal invitation to enter these grounds, you are, by reading this, forewarned of probable bodily harm should you decide to cross this fence. Failure to comply to this warning will result in one or more discharges of a properly registered firearm in your general vicinity, with a strong tendency towards repeated attempts should the first one miss. This may in turn result in serious, even fatal injuries, for which the said owner of this property cannot be held accountable for due to the aforementioned warning. If this notice should prove to be an insufficient deterrent, please take note that anyone surviving the several 12 gauge shots fired at them will be dragged into an unending saga of court appearances where he /she will face multiple ludicrous charges pertaining to the chain of events leading to the use of said firearm by the owner of this land.

This is the actually sign hanging on the gallery door: Gallery Closed for Rehanging. Please ring for Special Business. Sometimes I feel I should be writing something closer to this: Due to the changing closure of one exhibition and the necessity of installing the forthcoming exhibition, the gallery is closed to the publiCarrollil further notice. While paintings and/or drawings and/or sculptures and/or prints are being removed/added/replaced, please take note of the following: - If you are arriving on necessary gallery business, ie: pre-arranged deliveries of post and/or works of art (including but not exclusive to paintings, drawings, sculpture and prints) and/or other scheduled deliveries and/or appointments, please press the button to the right of the door frame, and a gallery worker will be with you in a moment. - If you are arriving on unnecessary gallery business, including but not exclusive to being an artist seeking representation and/or an inquiry whether we are open and/or a request to view the process of removing/adding/replacing works of art and/or seeking to sell knives, bedsheets or any other product without a prior appointment, please Frost right off. - If your inquiry includes checking our regular opening hours or the date and/or artist of the forthcoming exhibition, please look to your left at the large display or at the posters you passed on your way to the door, both of which display all of the information you require and more, you incredibly obtuse moron. - If you are on unnessary gallery business and/or making a stupid inquiry and choose to use the button previously mentioned as reserved for necessary business, please do not be surprised if you are met with rude or abrupt service, including but not exclusive to sneering, angry and/or sarcastic comments, the door slammed in your face, etc. Thank you and have a lovely day.

Please do this (what is mentioned above) at this moment in time rather than waiting and having the idea of such a process slip from your mind, thus making this message without any sort of purpose to you untill you see it again in the future. Immagine that son of a bitch rolling past you every time you sit down to a movie.

Hi, you've reached God. Due to an high volume of prayers all of my incarnations are busy at the moment and we are experiencing extended response times. Your worship is important to us. To expedite your request please choose from the following options. Please listen carefully as dogma is periodically revised to current social conventions, i.e. exorcisms are no longer available on the general prayer line. To leave a general prayer press 1 and begin speaking at the sound of the hymn. To beg forgiveness for yourself, press 2. For gambling related prayers, press 3. For promises to go to church regularly and be a better person in exchange for requests, dial 4. For general thanksgiving, press 5 For, "Why", and other such fundamental questions please hold for as long as you wiShakespeare won't bother us. If you or a loved one are about to die and are requesting a reprieve please remain on hold for the next available manifestation of divine grace. Calls will be answered in the order they are deserved. If you reached this line in error during orgasm please hang up now to avoid debits against your soul, and by the way, we can see you.

Alas, mass consumer interest and subsequently intense transactions have rendered this product absent from our shelves. Attempts will be made to communicate with our supplier at some point in the near future and replenish our stock. If you wish for this message to be repeated, please read it a second time. For any other enquiries, ask an employee of this store who will be happy to help you. Have a nice day.

Though they are perfect in form i am sorry to inform you that they were mired by the uncomely sight of a pearl-shaded substance somewhat resembling Christmas in July. This phenomenon is known to man as the shedding of desecrated cranial ephithelial cells. In order to halt this process or reduce its manifestations, please be sure to utilize a solution which is a cocoction of dandruff reducing chemicals, homogenized bases, and perfume extracts. These solutions work best if this process is then followed by rinsing the dead, keratin based strands with a substance consisting of two molecules of hydrogen one molecule of oxygen, and cancer-causing chemicals the government has impregnated your showerhead with. Repeat this process at a frequecy of 5 times per seven day period at 36 hour intervals.

You won't believe it, but I was just thinking of doing a Rinse. Repeat, and then scrolling down, I find someone just beat me to it! However...you failed to intepret the "correct" meaning of Repeat. The legend goes that a clever writer (probably someone at P&G's agency) added the word to I think a Revlon product and sales spiked 40%. It is unecessary to repeat(edly) be ripped off by haircare product marketeers. SJH: chime in if you know "The rest of the story..."

EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK THANK YOU To prevent further health inspections drama and threats from senior citizens, wash your god damn greasy-from-flippin'-too-many-burgers, Shakespeare stained hands before returning to your so called "cook" position. And get a real job while you're at it. Thank you
