Description

I took this nearly three years ago at a home and garden show, but it dropped off my radar and I just ran across it again this week. When I originally saw the sign I thought of Andrea, but later realized a solicitor in England is a lawyer in the States, and a solicitor in the States is a barker or a tout in England! This sign actually refers to door-to-door salespeople. Sometimes life is unnecessarily complicated. Still ... I liked the sign! :)

I always liked the words describing the difference between a rooster and a lawyer...the rooster clucks defiance.

Ha! This is SO FUNNY! It doesn't matter if it means "lawyers" (too many of them!) or "barker"! But door-to-door salespeople are a vanishing breed. The idea of composting - does that suggest having them kick the bucket first? And then deep-sixed? This gives rise to a lot of funny idiomatic expressions. I'm glad you posted this - it gave me a good laugh! And, it sure attracts attention! Keep up the good work! :-)

Sounds like the sort of cross pond confusion that nearly got a friend of mine in trouble in a restaurant, something about Pitcher's and Jugs.

I really like this shot alot. Not quite sure what it means, as I can only translate to the lawyer. HA, the other word, google just wont translate. Ahh well. :) Excellent shot anyway. :)

Great find Tara and great comment. Either way, whether it is someone that wants to sell you something you don't or someone that wants to make money out of a molehill I like to have sign like this!
