Since you boobs wont ever engage me in my posts I figured
Id stoop down to your levels and have a little fun at all of
your expenses.I am going to try and run a contest with a prize
that you can enter as your self or nominate a fellow member
of this forum.All expenses of the contest will be at my expense.

Bill Engvall from the Blue Collar comedy tour has a routine
he does called Here's your sign!! Basically here's your sign
is when you or someone says something and you or someone else
ask a question or make a statement to the question or statement
at hand and the answer was already there staring you in the face
before you ever said a peep.

Example.This is One I just thought of.I am on a ladder holding
a paint brush about to paint my house my neighbor comes over and
asks me are you painting your house? I reply No... I am test
painting my house with a paint-less brush to count how many strokes
and how how long it will take to actually paint the house one day.
(Here's your sign!!)

Here are some of Bills.

Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm stupid".
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them anything.
It would be like, "Excuse me... oops, never mind, didn't see your sign."

It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway.My neighbor comes over and says "Hey, you moving?"I say, "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week so see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign."


A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?" I says, "Nope, talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."


I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit And there's only one way to test it. "All right Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good... They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don't wanna lose it."


Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist. I said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."


We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house and he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.


I came upon a tractor trailer that had misjudged the height of a bridge? The truck got stuck and the driver couldn't get it out even after we let the air out of the tires to lower the truck. I called 911 for help and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report.He went through his basic questioning.License insurance ect. Ok...no problem. "So...Then he asks the truck driver is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the truck driver at the rig and then back
to him and said, "no was delivering this bridge and got 4 flat tires.......here's your sign."


I stayed late at work one night and a co-worker looked at me and said, "Are you still here?" I replied,
"No, I left about 10 minutes ago. Here's your sign."

OK, everyone at this forum understands what a (here's your sign moment is)....Good on to the rules.

Here are the contest rules:


You can nominate yourself or another member.

You can nominate multiple posts from the same member.

You have to either provide the link from this web site or take a picture of the offending statement.

It can be either a picture or statement from any post.

The contest will run for 1 week that will be enough time to allow hopefully for a few entries.

You can nominate me Steve/sewell if I should win the runner up will win instead.

After the entry list is completed a vote will take place for 1 week

Real simple the most votes wins the bottle.

Please don't be offended if you are nominated its all in fun and we are all quite capable of being real stupid at any time.


So lets get dumb people and win this. A slick from the 1840s or 50s full of cold mold whittle and a deep tubular pontil. Now its not anything to special but is is old and in nice shape.A nice addition to anyone's collection.

I'm sorry Steve, but this seems like a pretty mean spirited post. I wouldn't feel right nominating someone for their stupidity. Obviously there will be bias involved, as most people aren't going to point out mistakes of people they like. Just my 2 cents.

Conner mean spirited? I saw you going back and forth with surfaceone a little bit ago in another post.That wasnt looking to friendly to me.We all have had a here's your sign moment now and then.I am trying to find something I said that was very captain obvious to add me to the list.I have seen people verbally attacked here before and those posts remained up for quite a while.No offense meant here, hell I am giving away a bottle. Are we that afraid to laugh at ourselves anymore?
