Old folks pass out in hospital waiting rooms and die within feet of doctors that could help them.
Here in town, people drive 85mph in a 55mph zone while the few police troll the highways looking for the ones doing over 90.
Someone drove through our neighborhood and stole all of the Barrack Obama campaign lawn signs from peoples lawns (about 12 of them) last night.
We have become an apathetic country where laws are just a suggestion and everyone is some sort of criminal.
This all became crystal clear a few days ago on the way to the post office. I saw THIS sign on a major city street. I had to stop and take a picture. I actually went on-line to make sure this isn't how you spell 'mufflers' in spanish (the correct translation would be silenciador or tapabocas or bufanda).
But here in Phoenix, AZ, we get the spanglish / phonics version. Yup, this is a pretty apathetic town. At this rate, there will just be picture signs everywhere with no words at all.
It's really a muffler shop? That's sad.
ReplyDeleteyes, this is in a heavily hispanic part of town. It is a muffler shop (you can see the 'maganflow' symbol at the corner of the sign).
ReplyDeleteI have checked online translators, and while 'mofle' is spanish term meaning to 'silence', it is not the correct spanish term for muffler, although it may be spanish slang for muffler. Either way, I am assuming that they don't get a lot of caucasian customers, nor do they want to.
People are so lazy, sometimes I want to kick them. One of my favorite signs down south was for "sweat tea" Nothing like some nice ice cold sweat tea. I wonder if that leaves an aftertaste like arm pit?
ReplyDeleteWow, so sad that the majority of people have dumbed down to this point. Where is the pride? And would you trust a company that can't even spell?
ReplyDeletethat is so odd... eerily so. Its not really spanglish, its not really phoenetic... i dont know what the hell you'd call that, except just weird...
