Live Poultry Fresh Killed

So a while back I was wandering around Boston, and saw this little gem of a sign. I couldn't help but snap a phone-cam shot of it. I thought I'd have a wacky photo to share with the world.

Little did I know that I was hardly the first person to snicker at this particular sign. How unoriginal.

The shop, Mayflower Poultry, apparently does sell chickens that are slaughtered on-site daily. They also sell a variety of merchandise emblazoned with the (ostensibly) famous graphic.

Call me old-fashioned, but I can't help but find the live poultry, fresh killed thong underwear more than a little disturbing.

The Third Rail

I saw this sign while I was out and about. While I'm generally a fan of obtuse signage, this one seemed a bit odd. Now I now what a third rail is, but for someone not acquainted with subway electrical terminology, this sign lacks the proper amount of actual warning to be useful. And of course it misses the opportunity to use a hilarious illustration of a stick figure being electrocuted.

This is all prelude (as ever) to a reference to a bizarrely comprehensive wikipedia page: Third Rail. Seriously, is there that much to write about direct current? Ah, who am I kidding? I love it.

Who thought this made sense?

Seen recently while I was out. Seriously, did someone put one (or
both) of these signs up together and think "Yeah, this makes sense.
Nobody will have any problem with this"? At least they didn't use
quotations marks for "emphasis." Then my head might have exploded.

Pseudonym: It makes a weird sort of sense, I think, down THIS way then to the right, vs. Down to the right, this way. Do I think the signage is dumb, yes, but you can see just what happened: Some clown put up a sign that is extremely clear (but completely inaccurate) and some Deputy Clown tried to fix it by addendum. The 2nd sign makes the whole situation just the opposite, accurate, but very unclear.

Even without the written hints, I could guess this was a governmental building.
