This is a post about signs and I'm sorry but this graphic was the best I could do

I did NOT attend the Jon Stewart/Steve Colbert rally Saturday. I work for a news organization that suggested that would not be a cool thing to do since the gathering had political overtones and I respect that. Plus, I’d like to remain employed.

I, did, however, make the incredibly stupid mistake of taking the Metro to the Eastern Market to browse and ended up buying some napoleons and éclairs.

I returned home right at the time the rally was breaking up only to become witness to our subway system in a state of chaos. Nothing like being hemmed in on a subway car like a sardine holding a plastic container of napoleons and éclairs. Lord knows what people thought of the political statement I was trying to make. Pro-chocolate, I guess.

Anyway, I spotted a lot of rather amusing signs. So here it was a couple of days later and I happen upon a fellow WordPress web site called Rallythecause.com

I do not endorse this web site or its opinions, whatever they may be, but it is the decent thing to do to cite them as my source of the 40 funniest rally signs. At least the 40 I thought were funny (they list over 350 of them).

Not a single one of my choices is political, as far as I can discern. Well, except for two. “Fear the Amish” and “Protect our Border Collies.” For the record, I respect the Amish (one of my fantasies in life is eating fried chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuits with an Amish family). I am also for anything that protects our Border Collies and I’ll fight to the death for them (bless their furry little paws).

Now then, my favorite signs, in alphabetical order:
