Signs of our times

.
A family was taking a scenic drive when they passed a sign:

. . . . . .

"Daddy! Daddy!" said the little boy, "Can we stop and see the bear?"

"Sorry, son, we're too late," said his father
. . and he pointed to the next sign.

. . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . Bumper stickers

. . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

Over the years, I got a lot of comments from my neighbors.

"Do you really take the whole summer off?"
"You mean you don't do anything?"

My favorite response is "Three reasons why I teach ..."
(I actually had that bumper sticker.)

If they stood still long enough, I'd respond with:
. . "Yes, I've requested a wake-up call for Labor Day."

If that doesn't get enough groans, I'd add,
. . "I want to get up at the crack of September."

LOL! I'm going to try and get a doormat that says 'Oh no, not you again.' I like the broken horn one, I'll have to get a bumper sticker like that sometime.
