Signs, Signs, Signs

For years I've walked by this sign posted at Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop on South Temple. I never saw any humour in it until today, when I noticed the duct tape. If you can't tell, the duct tape was recently installed to cover LDS BUSINESS. So essentially, until recently, if, say, a couple of home teachers wanted to buy a cake for a family, or maybe a primary teacher wanted to get some cupcakes for his or her class, they absolutely could not park in Mrs. Backer's lot. Now, however, they've relaxed the rules and if you want to conduct some LDS Business at the shop, you can go right ahead and park in their lot.

Of course the reason I never before noticed anything odd about the sign was that LDS Business College was right across the street from the shop. Now that it has moved to Triad, the lot is now able to accommodate whatever LDS Business traffic comes its way.

But actually, the sign is now even worse. "No IBM or PARKING ALLOWED" - so keep your typewriters, copiers, computers, and whatever IBM produces (as well as IBM employees) out of the parking lot. Furthermore, don't even bother parking in the lot. No parking in that parking lot. FULL STOP.

Off Topic: It's sad when the only candy you have immediately available is a package of cough drops. It's even sadder when you let it pass as candy.
