Having been in the sign business all my life I probably pay more attention and read more signs than the average joe - - - I especially like to read the changeable message reader boards that are usually below the main sign which sports the name of the church. I usually stop and make a quick note on my 3x5 pad so I can remember it - - - Here are a couple I recently saw - - - you can't make this stuff up - - - This one in Cumberland MD. - - -
" ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NO MATCH FOR NATURAL STUPIDITY "
And then this one - - -
" THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED BY GOOGLE "
Both priceless - - -

Hervey Tire Store, which is in nearby Rochester, NH, had both of those aphorisms on their electronic sign recently. I don't know what this means, but, well, there it is!
Hi Mike,
What this means is that people who buy changeable letter signs ( In fact, when I had my sign shop, we sold many changeable letter marquee signs, both interior lighted plastic signs AND electronic-type LED signs and you get a set of letter fonts, in a box, a bundle of 250 or 500 letters for your sign, these letters, usually 6 or 8 inch were the most popular . . . they fit in the track system we had built into the sign . . .AND also, you would get a little book ( which I used to buy 50 at a time to give to my clients ), about 6x8 inches with about 500 clever sayings . . . I'm sure is the reason you see the same messages throughout the country on these message-board-type signs, they simultaneously think, hey!, here's a clever one I don't think anyone has seen . . . and bingo! . . the tire store and the church in Cumberland have an epiphany. ( ? ) The more things change, the more they stay the same.
