"Sweet" & "Sour" Songs

So, here's the thing…I recently posted a "Bitter" & "Sweet" opposites post, but I wasn't able to fit in all the "Sweet" songs I'd wanted to include within the self-allotted space. So…I decided (what a shocker!) to continue my seemingly infinite series of "Opposites" music posts with this one, affording myself the opportunity to get in those last few "Sweet" songs. Enjoy!  ~  JH

More Funny Church Signs

I've posted funny church signs before, too, but not in a while. And, to the best of my knowledge, I haven't posted any of these particular signs. The worst part about these signs is that they all seem to be genuine. The best part about them is that they're extraordinarily funny. (In my opinion, at least.)  Have a laugh!  ~  JH



Why did you have to go and bring math into the equation?




Talk about keeping up with the times! How clever!




My guess is that the new "message" won't last quite as long.




That's probably true. And I'd probably deserve it.




Ooh, ooh, can you bless my lawnchair? It could use a pick-me-up.




Um...




I'm going to take a wild guess that this is not Chamillionaire's church.




Fortunately, He won't stop listening to you now that you are.




And polyester too. It's itchy and doesn't breathe well.




Drive 12 miles straight ahead. Do not pass "Go." Do not take Exit 157.




That's not saying much.




Whoa, Nelly!




It's churches like this that give Christians a bad name.




Ohhkay, why don't we switch the "T" and the "W"? Or
maybe the "F" and the "T"? Anything but that arrangement!




Psst, your vital signs are showing. And they're not good...




With Skittles? 'Cuz I love Skittles. And I'm feeling kinda munchy.




That's one way of putting it. There are nicer ways, though.




I hope this wasn't during Pastor Appreciation Month!




I'd have to check chapter and verse to verify it, but
I'm 99.99999999% certain that Jesus never said that!

Songs By Artists With Out-Of-This-World Names

So, I was listening to this song on the radio the other day, and the singer's name contained the name of a planet. Which got me thinking...what other artists/bands have outer-space-related names. As it turns out, I found quite a few. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Freddie Mercury  ~  "The Great Pretender"




2)  Bruno Mars  ~  "When I Was Your Man"




3)  30 Seconds To Mars  ~  "The Kill (Bury Me)"




4)  Jupiter Rising  ~  "Electropop"




5)  Saturn  ~  "Kuch Nahin"  (a Pakistani hard rock band? – very cool!)




6)  Elephants From Neptune  ~  "Can't Come In"




7)  Empire Of The Sun  ~  "We Are The People"




8)  A Rocket To The Moon  ~  "Ever Enough"




9)  Walk The Moon  ~  "Anna Sun"




10)  Space  ~  "Female Of The Species"  (the 1990s English indie rock band)




11)  Space  ~  "Magic Fly"  (the 1970s French electronic music band)




12)  Galactic Cowboys  ~  "I'm Not Amused"




13)  Phantom Planet  ~  "California"




14)  Satellite  ~  "Say The Words"




15)  Bill Haley & His Comets  ~  "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy"




16)  The Asteroids Galaxy Tour  ~  "Major"




17)  Jefferson Starship  ~  "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"




18)  UFO  ~  "Lights Out"


More Funny Signs

I've done "Funny Signs" posts in the past, but to the best of my knowledge, these are all new to the blog. I don't know about you, but I never get tired of this stuff. Especially the ones that are obviously real and terribly thought-out. Enjoy!  ~  JH



Duly noted. If I doze off for a few minutes behind 
the wheel, it's good to know I won't miss anything.




Spelling. You're doing it wrong.




Take your own advice, Sign Maker.




This has got to be fake. If it isn't, someone has a very
sick sense of humor. So...why am I laughing right now?




"On purposes," however, are always welcome.




Truer words were never spoken.




Wouldn't it be easier to just, I dunno, lower the road?




Go away, Lady, we don't want you here!




Alrighty then...




Minnesota must be a really mean place to live.
Sheesh, what else won't they let you do there?




Nobody wants to see that. Nobody.




Unless you own the fence. Then you can make your own rules.




I know some illiterate ducks that are about to get arrested.




Cats, however, may be emptied wherever you (they) feel like it.




Unauthorized vehicles are strictly pro-ribbited.




At last, a shopping center for the whole family. (Not!)




Get your mind out of the gutter. It's a video store. It's
called "MEGAFLICKS." You can stop blushing now. 




What a shame! And the water looks so tempting too...




I think we all know some of the people 
for whom this rule was created.




No!!! Really??? I didn't even know that was possible!
