From time to time during my travels, I come across signs that I find interesting for one reason or another. Sometimes, they contain clever writing, are humorous, or remind me of some place or event. Here are some from a trip around and near the Northern Neck of Virginia, USA.

 From Reedville, Virginia. If the truth about someone isn't interesting, then make up some idle gossip!
|

 Not to be outdone, nearby Colonial Beach, Virginia, also provides a place to gossip.
See Tattletale.

 I'm all in favor of penalizing litterbugs, but this fine is rather steep!

 This nautical-themed sign fixed to a bench at the bank of the Potomac River in Colonial Beach, Virginia.

 A clothing place for mothers-to-be.

 This in the window of a haberdashery store at Halloween.

 This in the window of a liquor store at Halloween.

 I completely agree!

 While all this may well be true, I got to wondering if Grandpa actually chose the words!
|
| |
 "But Mom, it seemed like a good idea at the time!"
|

 Using a map of the world, a ruler, and a calculator, can you figure out just where this sign is located?
I found it on the grounds of the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. |

 Being a BIG fan of biscuits and gravy, this sign is saying a LOT! BTW, in this American context, a biscuit is a savory English scone, and the gravy white, sausage gravy.

 In this "Easy Guide to Southern Grammar", we learn some important pronouns.
|
| |
 Of course, this sign raises the question, "What's missing?"
|
| |
 Just which part of "closed" do you not understand?
|
| |
 And, finally, here's a lot of very good advice. Life, be in it!
