Apparently, the sign had been erected, but the economy went south and the sign remained blank for years until someone put a stenciled cutout on it.
It did cause a degree of outrage, but I admit I found it pretty funny...
One of my favorites!

I like those female dancer mud flaps I see on semi’s every now and then.
