Theme Day: Funny Signs

There may be a part of Pasadena I haven't scoured for funny signs, but I don't know where it is. I had to go to Valley Village to find this one (thanks for the tip, Lisa!).

Sometimes I want to tell people Los Angeles isn't as weird as folks say it is. Then I see something like this and I think, yes, yes it is.

If you don't think this sign is funny, click on it to enlarge it and check again. And if you still don't think it's funny, I recommend a super-size bag of Doritos.

There are now 1234 City Daily Photo blogs around the world, many of which are participating in today's theme. Click here to view thumbnails for the participants and discover a new city!

  1. This is hilarious. (Or is it HIGH-larious? Sorry, couldn't resist.) I'm sharing the link to your post on my Facebook. Great find :)

  2. Hahaha ~ I love the inclusion of "Actual Doctor" on the photo. I think I'd like mine to look like Hugh Jackman.

  3. Indeed HIGH-larious if they think we'd ACTUALly believe them!

  4. Now we know. A real doctor advises us to smoke a joint. I need to have a word with mine.

  5. Don't know which is the enticement...the actual doctor or the marijuana.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The photo and your words are equally funny! What a find!

  7. This is the way the doctor looks AFTER the joint. (She really loks like Pyliss Diller....)

    ReplyDelete
  8. Or PHyliss Diller, even...

  9. Not like any doctor I've ever seen. She's "smokin'" hot.

  10. "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on a billboard."

  11. I keep confusing the Med School Yearbook for a Victoria's Secret Catalogue!

  12. Thank you, everyone. I was beginning to think I'd have to skip this theme day. Thank goodness for the San Fernando Valley. Evelyn, I'm honored that you're sharing my link.

    Shell, now you've got me wondering who I want my doctor to look like.

    Louis, I know. Imagine the disappointment!

    Welcome, Bill. Let us know what you find out.

    Kate, I don't think they care, as long as you pay!

    Merci, Nathalie, and merci to my friend who found it for me.

    Hee hee, JB. Or Pill-is, maybe.

    Good one, B-Squared.

    Keep 'em coming, Mister Earl. Stop by again if you have more.

  13. LA is weird, we're just used to it. I'd be more willing to believe she was an "actual" doctor if she was wearing a bikini.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think I have just found myself a new doctor. I wonder if she makes house calls. Hey Doc! What's in the black bag?

    ReplyDelete
  15. This gets even better if you go to the website on the billboard. Take a look at the Office Photos.

    ReplyDelete
  16. This is hysterical! The website is a gem too. 5+ years of experience, wow! And certified from an actual doctor (that looks mysteriously like Ashwarya Rai, the famous Indian film star)

    ReplyDelete
  17. See, your sign is much better than the hemorrhoid clinic I pilfered from LA! Guess they had to weed out a lot of actual doctors before they found this babe! Whoohooo. And she's got 5 years experience. She could put Viagra out of business.

  18. I guess you get the card from the actual doctor, then get the actual marijuana from the guy in the red cap.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Very funny! I wonder where she went to medical school.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Notice all the Weed in the yard under the sign?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I thought about cutting the guy out of the picture. It's not really fair to him. Hopefully he'll never see it!

    Maybe she prescribes Viagra, too. No telling what she can do with her 5+ years' experience and those attractive examining rooms. And her bikini.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I thought you must have asked the guy to pose; he is such an integral part of the sales pitch. Now, if you could have just captured a bit of plant peeking out from behind that fence...

    ReplyDelete
  23. So much to play with...In addition to her loveliness, Actual Doctor, M.D., I love the lack of attention to placement. Big old gap in the corner, perhaps the creative team, started work after visiting her office.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Placement is right. Who are the poor souls who have this in their front yard? I assume that's a row of fluorescent lights at the top? All night long... I'd need some weed at that point for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  25. This is hysterical! And so are your words...!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Actual doctor? lol! I actually like the "5+ years." That's the level of experience you are looking for in your "doctor."

    ReplyDelete
  27. These folks live next to the parking lot of a fast food place. Insult, meet injury.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I clicked on the site -
    it says

    “Life can be filled with difficult choices.
    Choosing your doctor should not be one of them.”

    Oy.

    ReplyDelete
  29. No, choosing your actual doctor should not be one of life's difficult choices, and somehow I think it just got a hell of a lot easier!

    WV: botil. I wonder if my new actual doctor could give me a shot of botil to get rid of these wrinkles.

    ReplyDelete
  30. This is great! I like the "actual doctor" caption under the babe's face. And the "5+ years" of experience. I wonder if the people who created this sign had a few tokes, and a few bags of Doritos....

    ReplyDelete
  31. Well I'm sure glad to know she's an actual doctor, that makes me feel better. I think she's a highly photoshop'ed doctor. Just sayin.'

    Great find!

  32. Last comment of the day(?): You don't need a Turkish towel to dispense analgesics ...


    wv: glysticy! Really!
