dead animals only

08Aug08

I came across a sign lately that caused me to stop and think:

live-animals-only.jpg

Stop and think about how ridiculous it is, to be more specific!

I’ve heard of ‘No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service’, I’ve also heard some other unique ways that restaurants/coffee shops select who they will serve and who they will kaibosh.

But c’mon…no ‘live’ animals allowed?  I noticed a marmot (as made famous in The Big Lebowski) on the sign…so I imagine if I happened to be carrying a dead marmot around (whilst calling myself the ‘Dude’ and wearing a robe from dramatic effect), I’d be given the nod?  Bizarre.

ps - if you can tell me where this sign is located in Vancouver (comment to this post with the answer), we’ll send you a $10 gift certificate to the coffee vendor of your choice!

    The sign is at Granville Island AND it’s a ferret (not a marmot:-)

    I came across this sign yesterday! It is posted near the door of Goldilock’s Bakery on Broadway near Fir.

    Anna and Emily - close, but not the one I was speaking of.

    If this sign is in fact at both of those locations, this wasn’t the one I was referring to. The contest is open for a few more days and if the correct answer doesn’t come in, well then…BOTH of you will win - once we have it checked out, of course :)
