Strange Signs

Two days ago, we had a ski trip involving the whole family. On the way to Stevens Pass, I saw many strange signs. One billboard, advertising Ruth Realty, read: “Ruth Realty: 127 pretty homes and 6 ugly ones”. I think this was not to the company’s advantage, because everybody would think “Did I buy an ugly house?” when they buy one of the houses. Nobody would want an ugly house, and so nobody would buy a house from the company. Another sign read: “Darci’s Dinky Donuts”. I didn’t even know “dinky” was a word before then. Apparently it means “overly or unattractively small”. I think “delicious” would work better. “Dinky” also sounds weird, and makes my little brother laugh all the time. To sum up, there are a few very funny and strange signs on the way to Stevens Pass!
