I can verify it's real. laurielblack who is a member here on DPC also had seen the sign. I did punch up the colors some before submitting it.

| That's good. At least the parents can drop their kids off, pick up a donut and then shoot their neighbours when they get home. |

| This photograph just caused two heart attacks and a foam-at-the-mouth fit in a well known East Coast city. 8 |

| This is most definitely one of my favorites in the humor challenge, and my husband couldn't stop laughing! The humor aspect is the saving grace of this photo, because other than that it would have a low impact for me. The composition is good in relation to photographing that huge sign, and I must admit I like your border - it accents rather than taking away from the shot. This sign was a stroke of genius for this challenge though !! |

| This was about the only shot this week that actually got a laugh from me. I like that you have the gun store showing in the background - now if only a group of little kids had been walking by at the same time... |

| Somehow looks like those words were pasted there with Photoshop (colour is pretty bright, and letters crisper than the rest of the picture). What do I know, Anyhow, this is pretty funny. Only to be seen in Texas :) Good eye. Jacko. 8 |

Easily the FUNNIEST submission this week, and I like the way you matched the frame color to the sign.
"Lessee, I'll take 4 glazed, 4 chocolates, 4 jelly-filled and a box of 30.06 shells..." |

| Looks like an excellent road sign entry, and it is funny in a sick sort of way. I see you didn't have any sun either. 7 |

| This shot surely made me laugh. Go pick up the kids, buy them some donuts, and then head over right next door and pick up your gun. Ha! Only in Texas! |

| I guess that nobody is going to rob a gun store next to a doughnut shop. I guess that the cops can kill two birds with one stone. No pun intended |

| Amazing. This is just too funny. One stop shop. lol. Focus and clarity are great. angle and framing/cropping are good as well. At first, the white sky kind of bothered me, but I see it has a greenish tint, and the more I look at it, the more that slight greenish tint works.I think your green border works as well. Colors are nice and bright, not muted or dull. Very nice find. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Oh man that's funny. You should have saved this one for the "Road Signs" challenge this week. Although it's not really a "road" sign but... |

| Oh. My. God. What has this world come to?! Your sign makes me think of the movie "Bowling for Columbine". If you haven't seen it, you must. This sign is outrageous, and such a statement about the land we inhabit.... This photo is more depressing than funny, it seems. But I'll give you an 8 just for being so thought provoking. |

| This is great, I live in Arkansas and your likely to see the same combination here. Maybe with a beer sign added in. Too bad you can't use this for next week's challenge. |
