I love these signs and especially want
TURTLE XING.
The deer is perched at the wrong angle though,
making it look more like he's lying down on the road
after an unfortunate face-to-face with a vehicle.
Which brings to mind a question -
After a century or so of these encounters,
shouldn't the deer species have started to
weed out the gene for running willy-nilly into
the road in favor of the one
that says "Stop ... and listen?"
I'd also like to combine the wording
on the Doberman Pinscher sign
with the one for the turtle, to warn
evil-doers they have 2.8 weeks to leave
before she takes a chunk out of their toes.

Hee hee, Speedway. I'd buy one of your turtle signs.
What kind of strange store sells such thing as the signs and inflatable cows? I'm intrigued.
Oh, Sorry, Dive, those pictures were taken at souvenir stands at the Indiana State Fair.
Do the inflatable cows come deep fried on a stick? If not, then it's not a proper state fair.
Well, they do come on a stick. That might be funny - make a bunch of little inflatable cows, put them in little golden brown polyester Snuggies with little pink horns sticking out. They could be either fried cow on a stick or undercover Guernseys.
I think you're on to a winner.
But I'm kind of half serious about this gene thing. You'd think that all the deer carrying the gene for jumping in front of vehicles would eventually die off, with the gene for waiting until the car had passed - or at least just standing still at the side of the road with a blank stare would - become more dominant.
Evolution works in mysterious ways, Speedway. Or was that God? … I dunno … Either way, deer are dumb.
