It Makes me Wonder

Sometimes, you'll see something during the normal course of your day that makes you stop and think. Monday was one of those days for me. Check out this sign I saw outside the 7-11 that's near my office:


Now, here's my thinking: if someone walks into a 7-11 dressed in the manner they're describing and picturing ... you've got bigger issues than trying to ask them nicely to leave or to remove the offending clothing.

"Sir, you'll have to put down that shotgun and take off that mask... we don't allow people in ski masks to come inside"

"Sir, that fake mustache will need to come off or NO SLURPEE FOR YOU!!"

"What a minute, that's a Bill Clinton mask ..... Get outta here you fooler"

If I was working the register at the local convenience store, and someone in a ski mask comes inside, the first thing I'm doing is pooing myself. Second is opening the cash drawer and throwing all the money at them while cowering behind the counter with the porno mag display as a shield. The sign just struck me funny for some reason, just misguided optimism. What do you think?
