This Would be SOOOO Much Better with a Picture

While driving to work on Tuesday, a handwritten sign propped up on the side of the street caught my eye. The street is a pretty busy and commercial one, but about 4 blocks of it are strictly residential. Then you hit a cemetery. I guess if I were artsy or 15 or something, here is where I would be inserting a comment on how that's a commentary on life in consumer America or something equally obnoxious, but since I frequent (because I love) several of the businesses (OK, fast food joints) I don't feel compelled to do so. Anyway, now I've gotten off the subject, as I frequently do, so let's get back to the sign on the side of the road next to the residential section. It was white poster board with nicely lettered black handwriting. People, it said "Yar Sale".

I can't figure out if they just forgot the "d", or if they had an abundance of pirate related goods they no longer had a use for, although I think I might have put one or two more "a"s and "r"s to really make it flow more piratey. Hey, hey... "Where do pirates buy other pirate's junk that they don't want anymore?... A Yaaarrrr Sale!" (Oh boy, remember pirate jokes? They were so bad they were awesome! Q: Doesn't really matter as long as the A: is a word ending in AAARRRR!!!) Although, that in itself doesn't really make sense, because what kind of pirate actually buys stuff? Do you think a scorned lover put all of their ex's stuff out in the front yard for pirates to pilfer? Also who hosts any kind of residential sale, yar or not (besides if their actual house is for sale) on a Tuesday Morning? Oh my gosh, I just figured out the meaning behind that store's bizarre name!

Anyway, I got to work and promptly forgot about it, which is why I didn't remember to try to figure out how to stop in the middle of busy morning traffic to take its picture on Wednesday. (A: Uh, you live in Phoenix. People randomly stopping their cAAARRRRs whenever and wherever they feel like it in heavy traffic is pretty much the nAAARRRM!!!(Pirates aren't particularly known for their spelling abilities.)) When I finally remembered it existed before I saw it this morning, it was gone. A pirate probably pillaged it.
