signs from the bathroom ..

after we ate lunch on monday we rode along hwy 10 (i think)  which runs along the illinois river .. i was needing some chocolate so we pulled into this little store to buy some m&m's and go to the bathroom .. 

bathrooms at little stores like this can be 2 things ..

1) gross and filthy 

or

2) entertaining .. 

this one was entertaining .. 

inside the very very clean restroom there were signs posted all over the walls .. it made for some very interesting reading while i was in the bathroom .. so interesting that i thought i would whip out my phone and take some pictures .. aren't you glad that i didn't call you .. 

this makes me wonder just how expensive they are .. and no noah i did not ask them what their layaway terms were .. and now that i think about it i don't remember seeing any kayaks .. ummmm .. maybe that is only during the summer .. next time i will ask .. 

prepaid debit cards .. you have to at least put $5 on it .. so your $5 will really cost you $9.95 .. maybe you should just give the person the cash 

not old ones .. new ones .. 

are oregon saw chains .. not chain saws .. and files better than say michigan saw chains and files ?

don't think you can buy a pair of rope sandals .. float the river and then try to bring them back .. 

sorry .. there are no returns on rope sandals .. 

now .. i guess you could bring back your oregon saw chains or file .. that sign didn't say anything about no returns ..

i asked him if this means that if you want to pack up your 2 kids and a picnic lunch and go sit along side the riverbank and eat turkey sandwiches .. cheetos .. oreos and drink orange pop and throw rocks you have to pay $1 ..

no mam .. he says .. 

oh ok .. good .. i was thinking that the river belonged to everyone .. it was free .. i said 

you would have to pay $4 .. that is if your "friend" comes along with you .. i am hoping that he was meaning jeff .. who was sitting outside yelling at his phone because he could not get the map app to work right .. 

oh i said .. 

Lyssa won a poster contest .. so they printed off her poster and posted it in the bathroom .. 

consider it a public safety announcement .. 

just in case you left any of these items at home .. or need to start your christmas shopping early ..

no gift wrapping is not available .. sorry .. 

there were so many more that i wanted to take pictures of but there was this lady outside who kept banging on the door and hollering at me to hurry up in there .. 

geeezzzz are you going to take all day she said .. 

then she stated to pull on the door handle and make the door shake so i thought .. for my safety .. i better wrap it up .. 

when i did open the door she walked right in as i was walking out and we got stuck .. just for a moment .. i said in my meanest biggest voice i could muster at the time .. it was hard to breathe .. just wait a minute "in-a-hurry-holly" and you can go in .. to my complete disbelief she stepped back .. victory to the little people !!

well it took you long enough lady .. she said 

so i smiled sweetly and told her to have a nice day ..

too bad i used the last of the toilet paper and paper towels ..
