…Maryann!  

I believe this sign says it all.

It’s extra funny to me because when I first looked at it, I thought Wow, she really butchered her margins.

Honorable mentions:

Holly: (Subtle…)

Sarah: (I think it was the accent and that WTH mask that got me)

Dana: (Very first entry received. Love it.)

Captian Jean-Luc Picard: (Another one that took me a few seconds to get)

Heidi: (Nice and direct)

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Hee. I loved this contest! I wanted to make one of my own, but I would read through all the entries and think "If only I'd thought of that first! Or that! Or that!" So I decided to just sit back and enjoy :-) It was a great idea!!

[Katie]

Ha! It took me a minute to get the first one :D

[Cathy]

I'm slow.
I still don't get the first one!
:(

[Cathy]

Nevermind.
Got it!

[Melissa]

Ha! I didn't get it at first either. In case anyone else still doesn't get it, the text is in the shape of a middle finger.

[Dou-la-la]

Congrats to Maryann!

[MomTFH]

That was so funny! Good choices!

I liked the first draft one, too.

And was it Amy that said "No Hippie Shit!"?

[Maryann]

YAY!
Thanks Jill and everyone! This was fun and such a good contest. I have so many favorites. And I'm a little disturbed that so many people appreciate my sense of humor ;) I can't think of a better way to address this sign and everything that is wrong with it. We can only write so many informative letters to boards.
Thanks for giving us a fun way to vent!

You should send the runner up signs as well...in case they don't get the message from the winning sign.

[Jill]

MomTFH, no but I forgot to include the "no hippie shit" one in the runner-ups. I knew there was one I was forgetting. Dang.

[Jill]

Congrats, Maryann! Now I just need to you to send me the address to which you would like the book sent. :)

[Katy R]

Best.contest.ever.

[Jill]

Katy, we're just going to have to do this again next month. I was so entertained.

love the one about the pot it looks rather weird that its's their also love the masked surgeon makes me think of the last bad butcher that butchered me up to get the meat out!! LOL I mean my beautiful baby girl that would have been happy being born at home!!!

[Sarah @ ilithyia inspired]

I was robbed! I was robbed! (just kidding). Great fun. Thanks for the comp Jill and thanks for the honourable mention Judges :)

[Kelly]

Perfect! I am glad you are sending a copy of "The Birth Partner" to this office. Are you sending copies of the signs, also??

[Cindy Unger]

I thought the first one looked like a doctor standing there with a scalpel, waiting to cut your baby out. But that's just me.

[Jill]

Cindy, I can see that. Like a hand in a sword's hilt. But, no, it's just flipping the bird.

[Corrina]

Love it. All the signs were great !!!
