If you were looking for a sign, Wallingford Sign is the one. Each week it provides you a new joke or a witty observation. Isn't it a puntastic idea?
This funny initiative was started by Seattle Propane at Wallingford Chevron. In 2005 an auto repair shop was converted into an ExtraMile convenience store. The owners say, that it had always been "easy to think of useful messages to put on the sign for things like service promotions and store specials and the like", but they wanted to do something different with it. And so they did.
Check out the sign's wisdom in the pictures below!

In french we say "à tes souhaits", which basically means "to your wishes". We actually don't have anything related to religion to say if someone sneeze :D
I'm French, but I never say "a tes souhaits". When someone sneezes, I run away and take a shower.

Na zdrowie! Which is wishing someone that it was a healthy one and not a sign of real sickness. So yeah, only English uses imaginary friends when you sneeze? :)
In many languages we just say 'good health'. 'Should I shut the window?' is another politeness.
I just say, "Don't die." My friends usually respond with, "Don't tell me what to do!"
You're cold or allergies? did you get your meds? Do you want a tissue?
Lithuanian for that is also "į sveikatą", which translation word by word is "to health"
gesundheit. A German word meaning good health, said conventionally when some one sneezes.
In Afrikaans (related to Dutch) we just say 'Gesondheid', same as German - good health.
In Denmark we also say "Prosit" when someone sneezes. From Wikipedia: Latin prōsit (“may it be good”), the third-person singular present active subjunctive of prōsum ("to be good"): literally "may it be good (for you)"
My caucasian Fiance is an atheist and I am an Indian Hindu and when he sneezes I say "Bless you" and his response is "Thanks but I'm already cursed..." It annoys me after all these years together but I am used to it now lol
these are all joke from the net, all from those station funny sign generators too {i mean the place is real, but that's hwy a lot of them look the same cause you can find generators on the net to make it look like those signs have funny stuff on them too} also seen everyone of those jokes in old joke books and on twitter
There's a gas station at the end of the road I live on that does something similar to this with their sign. Instead putting jokes, they change out inspirational quotes every month. The current one is "Nothing worth having comes easy" 🙂
If you dont have a sense of humour built in then your bound for disappointment! You need a healthy dose of the Haha's to get thru life
Even if some came out of an anthology, these are great one-liners, a civic benefit.
i haven't been past it in a while, but i got this from that same sign: "pms jokes aren't funny. period."
