A Seattle signboard has been making residents and passersby smile every week with punny messages and cheeky wisecracks for nearly two decades. The beloved Wallingford Sign, located outside a Chevron gas station, has also gained a substantial online following. It's easy to see why once you experience its witty humor.

"In October of 2005, we converted our auto repair shop into an ExtraMile convenience store and suddenly we had a problem. It had always been easy to think of useful messages to put on the sign for things like service promotions and store specials and the like. But with the ExtraMile, there were no more cars to fix and the place was plastered with store specials. So we decided to do something different," the gas station reveals on its website. Using the sign to post jokes and punny observations is "a great way for the community to connect with us,"

“What if Soy milk is just regular milk introducing itself in Spanish?”

I was wondering this when I saw “soy chorizo” in Grocery Outlet. I was thinking it was false advertising in Spanish.

Well, I guess Seattle is not completely worthless.

Good ones!

I told a friend of mine who doesn’t like to walk to rename her dog 5 Miles so she can say she walked five miles every day.

My all-time favorite marquee sign ever was years ago on a nearby AME church. It had these two messages on the same side:

Love one another

Agreed, Seattle has been worthless. The signs show hope at least from the Sign Company.

I’d bet the guy who does these signs is named Gallagher.
