Tex-Mex restaurant El Arroyo, in Austin, Texas, offers more than what's on the menu—it also puts up the wittiest signs that are sure to make everyone's day.

El Arroyo took up this "hobby" in the early '80s, and much like LeBron James, it is still going strong after all these years in the game.

We at Bored Panda have already covered these signs here and here, but since it brings so much joy to the community (and the Internet), we decided to make a new piece sharing some of El Arroyo's latest gems. Enjoy!

    Times have changed. In 2019 you could have been arrested for wearing a mask inside a bank and today for not wearing a mask.

    Not like it floats, or can cook/keep warm with it, won't heal a broken leg or cure a fever. You can't even fight off zombies with it.
