Sign Co.: U-STICKIT GRAPHICS!

Remember, if you see a local company that is currently involved with Social Media, we would love to put them on the list, so let us know! Voting deadline is by Friday, June 18th!

Hopeless?

I wonder if anyone actually ever called the Crisis Hotline from this bridge. I mean, if they're at that point, are they really going to stop to read the sign, and then break down and pick up the phone? Or maybe they're just trying to give themselves a slight bruising. Good thing it clearly states that "Jumping from this bridge is fatal and tragic". Well, hopefully they won't pick this day among all of them to choose to end it all. Or if they are, hopefully they can use their cell phone to call the Crisis Hotline. I tell ya, that would be enough to push them over the edge. Here they come out to this bridge, ready to end it all, and then they see there is a glimmer of hope....except....

We hope all of you know that there is always something to live for. There IS always hope. If you're living in despair, and don't know where to turn to, we're here for you. Don't throw in the towel. You don't have to figure it out on your own. We at U-Stickit Graphics are here to show you that there is help....help for all those plain windows without lettering....help for all those company vehicles without advertisement....help for all those signs that need refurbished or created. We're here for you. There's always hope.

Fish Are Good Kissers

I'm sure a lot of us have done embarrassing things while under the influence. It could have been telling a secret we shouldn't have. Maybe you tripped and fell. Possibly you even got sick and spewed everywhere. Maybe you sang a horrific rendition of "Sweet Caroline". Some of these consequences just come with the territory, and you've probably learned your lesson, and will try to drink with some moderation next time. However, this sign warns of how alcohol impairs your judgment so bad, that you could do one of the most unspeakable acts. You could make-out with a fish. Please remember, if you're going to drink and boat, make sure you don't cheat on your spouse with some little sleazy trout that isn't worth it. Oh sure, her scales may shimmer in the sun. She may have the best looking pouty lips you've ever seen, but remember where your loyalty lies.

To see why so many of our clients remain loyal to us, don't just take our word for it. Check out just some of the few testimonials we've received.

We Predict You Will Get a Kick Out of This

Welcome to Madame Moron's Psychic Readings. We can communicate with dead loved ones. We can tell you about your one true love. We can tell you about where you will be 5 years from now. Just don't ask us to know if you are coming to the door. We won't have any foreknowledge of that. We can see into the depths beyond our natural plain, but not past our front door.

Here at U-Stickit Graphics, we predicted that this blog would make you giggle or smile. We see signs, vehicle lettering, and other projects in your future....and we predict you will contact us to help you with your project.

CAUTION: You May Be a Complete Idiot

This sign should say, "Caution, if you really need a sign to know this, maybe you should just save us all the hassle, and jump already." Caution signs are necessary to warn of potential hazards, but this is really ridiculous. I often assume that when there is a sign stating such an obvious warning, there is often a moron behind it that inspired it. I think the management at this facility should also post these signs on this balcony:

• CAUTION: Please be aware that the balcony is not a sandwich. Don't try to eat it.
• CAUTION: Please be aware that there is a restroom in your hotel room, and this is not part of it.
• CAUTION: Please be aware these sign are for idiots.
  

At U-Stickit Graphics we make all sorts of signs, customized to your specific needs. If you feel the need to post the usual warnings, we can make whatever you need. If you feel the need to remind people to exhale after inhaling, we can help with that too.

Some Families Should Just Work for The Man

Yeah....this picture practically doesn't even need my commentary. Butt? I can't imagine many businesses the Butt family could go into without having someone giggle when seeing their advertisements or listing in the Yellow Pages. I know of a person I follow on Twitter that has this last name. I can't imagine that is easy to live with. Especially with immature types like myself. I guess Butt Drilling may have been an alternative to these entrepreneurial enterprises that the Butt family could have went into:

• Butt Painting
• Butt Landscaping
• Butt Consulting
• Butt Photography

What's Going On Up There?

What exactly is going on here? Ok, so look up, and you will see 2 men racing up the stairs, 1 on foot, and one in a wheel chair? It appears that the guy in the wheelchair is winning. His foot is clearly on the top step.

Either that, or maybe the walking man just shoved the guy in the wheelchair, backwards down the steps?

I really like how the guy walking up the steps appears to be dancing, putting his front foot on his tip toes, and has jazz hands. No matter what is going on here, I really need to get to the top of the steps to see what is going on. The curiosity is killing me! To see what's going on with us, check out our website!
