Did They Really Mean That?

Home » Uncategorized » Did They Really Mean That?

In: Uncategorized on: October 8, 2007

Don’t you just love public signs that don’t really mean what they first imply? I found this one yesterday at the Cotton Bowl, site of the annual UT-OU football game.

It’s even funnier when seen with the sign on the other side of the steps.


Seriously, we had a great time at the State Fair indulging in our annual fried food binge. We watched part of the Waffle House Waffle Eat-Off. Those people are insane! After 2 minutes some had already eaten 12 waffles! We watched a cooking demonstration by the Executive chef at the Mansion on Turtle Creek—and even got to sample the dish afterwards. And we marveled at a sand castle of the Dallas skyline.

    I gotta admit, that’s hilarious. Especially since I don’t have a clue what they’re really intending to say.

    I’m glad someone else found it funny! My husband and I laughed about it all afternoon!

    I think they meant you could leave through that gate at half time only. At least that’s what I came up with after thinking about it for awhile.

    Still, quite funny!

    That is completely hilarious. That’s a good one to send to Letterman or Leno – whoever does those funny sign bits.

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”
