More of the Same, Part II

This may or may not be the last entry I am allowed to post to this blog. Since none of my posts are actually worth reading, it really won’t matter one way or the other. In any case, here is the second half of my extremely valuable mission photograph collection. (You may notice that my second half is larger than my first half. This is made possible, in part, by a Title IX grant to San Juan High School, in Blanding, Utah, where I learned my maths.)

Irish wheelchairs look an awful lot like dresses and camping cots

So just chill out

Trespassing ok

Groovy

They can steal but they can’t spell

I don’t think this applies to Americans

Designed by a cyclist

So am I

I always wondered what happened to him

For him or me?

Looks a wee bit like shoveling to me

Ever!

Meet me at the fireside

This church is rubbish

Classy

Ditto

This sign was outside a church in Lisburn, Northern Ireland

My kind of lawsuit

Pay attention all you right turners

I always knew there was a connection between ozone depletion and toilets - also note that drinking is not permitted in the ozone or the toilet

Hmm

So is everything else

Me too

Tesco knows wise men when they see them

Billy? He’s just a half mile down there on the right - You can’t miss him

Now there is some helpful information

Ever since 1860, nothing smells as clean as coal tar

Love you too

Yes, we call that the ocean, unless this sign refers to the person’s head buried between the posts

When we found this helpful tip in the owner’s manual of our mission car we stopped parking on paper, gunpowder, napalm and marshmallows 

I gotta get me some of that

Now yer talking - I stopped making sense years ago

And don’t you forget it!

I have no idea what this means but it can’t be good

The 3 Stooges

This sign would make sense if it was somewhere helpful, but we had been driving for 3 hours when we came upon this helpful reminder

When we go, we go to the Loo of the Year

He don’t look like slow children to me. However, that is not the point. This is the point: in Northern Ireland, the school crossing sign clearly shows an older sister protecting her younger brother from running out into the street ...

... whilst in the Republic of Ireland, the school crossing sign clearly shows an older brother pushing his younger sister into the street

Yes, but not a very large one from the look of things

Senior missionaries rule! (or is that drool?)

We met some of our best friends here

Could there be a third half? You do the maths, but with posts like this, I’m sure I will be back by popular demand. Maybe.

Each Picture Is Worth About 1,250 British Pounds

Dear Reader:

I am in cleanup mode, with a list of bloggy things to which I haven’t yet gotten. However, rather than impress you with yet something else I know nothing about, I will, instead, share with you my large collection of strange  photographs during the course of our mission. Here then, is one half of the best photos we have taken. If you figure that it would cost you about £1,250 to hire a technical writer to produce one thousands words for you in a document, it follows that each picture is worth about that much.

This is an extra wide Tardis

I buy Spudmuckers just to read the package

Great logo (see the oars)

In Northern Ireland, these two things just seem to go together

Nothing says Merry Christmas like a Welsh hog

I gotta get me some of that

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this

Smart kid

This is very helpful - I just don’t know why

The missionaries or the toy store?

I gotta get me some of that

This looks like a safe place to drive

I always wondered what happened to him after Sherlock Holmes put him away

I gotta get me some of that

Planking

By the time you read this sign it’s too late

This is why we ride

Bad dog

Good dog

Why not?

Not everything is bigger in Texas

Everything tastes better when you add giant cans of tuna and corn

The national drink of Scotland, on tap at Costco in Edinburgh

Everything is bigger in Biggar

Now you tell us

This is our lowest price burial plot

We had too many so we just got rid of one

We found this near the top of a mountain, apparently left over from Noah’s Ark

No problem, I usually bathe at home anyway - Note Darren in the foreground and the Egyptian pyramids in the background

Amen

By my calculations, you have just viewed photographs worth a total of £37,500 ($60,000). I’m sure you would rather have had the money and skipped the photos. Sorry, they’re not for sale.
