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,"
