Random signs, images & annoucements...

As you walk through life do you ever run into a sign or image where someone missed the message? I make statements in life that I completely understand but do others really get the same message. For those English and grammar experts…I’m sure this is due to my lack of grammar skills but I also know that I’m not the only American that doesn’t really understand English either. I know because just the other day I read a sign that said this…

“If you keep door open for longer than 15 seconds a silent sound will alarm.”

So my question is what is a silent sound? Maybe there is an engineer who has designed a silent sound and I missed the product launch. (I was in Albuquerque which has a high number of engineers and such).

Are you aware of any silent sounds? If so please share!

Also please share any random signs, images or announcements that you’ve enjoyed.

Sam Perkins said...

Several weeks ago I was presented with an opportunity to meet a former NBA player Sam Perkins. My husband, also Sam, couldn't attend with me to he sent me with a message of Sam Perkins. Sam, the NBA player, was known in the league as “The Big Smooth”…Sam, my husband, is not a smooth basketball player. He is actually the opposite of smooth as a sports player. So the husband Sam asked that I pass along the message that Sam was his hero as a player. Sam also wanted to be calmer on the court like Sam. As I told Sam, the NBA player, he smiled and asked that I remind Sam that he too was thrown out of a basketball game. However as Sam, the basketball player was leaving the event…he stopped by to give me a message. He said to tell my husband Sam to never have a hot head with me. To tell Sam to count to ten any time he gets angry. Isn’t that a great statement…Sam Perkins said you can’t get mad at me!
