Burnt Pedestrians

[helen99]

We were tootling about Winchester, VA (near VA/WV border) when we saw a sign for "Burnt Presbyterian Church". This would have been kind of odd on its own (conjuring images of a toasted congregation), but for a moment I was sure I saw "Burnt Pedestrian Church". As we passed it rather quickly, I said, "Wait, what did that sign say?? Burnt Pedestrian Church??" I wish I had a camera that could take pictures of what I sometimes think I see.

That's almost as funny as one relayed to me several years ago. A friend was, as you were, passing by a church with two signs on it one above the other, proclaiming both parking instructions for the congegrants and for the up-coming meeting being held at the church.

There seems to be a preponderance of these particular types of faux pas on church signs for some reason.

Apparently one of the two was taken down in very short order. You can guess which one. If I'm not mistaken, it was a Catholic Church as well, however, I'm not sure.

My maternal grandparents retired to Winchester, it's where they both died. It's a bizarre, hovel of a town.

VA's chock-full of weird crap! Joe and I had such a great time driving through there.
