Dazzling Solvangian Wordplay

While going through the pictures I’ve taken so far, I noticed quite a few involved signs or messages that amused me for some reason or another. Since I’m currently one picture short of the mini-album I really wanted to post today, here are a few of those pictures, captioned snarkily.

wooden board defaced with 'PINK LAdIZ STONEZ'
Write your own backstory for this one.

pastries labeled with 'butter ring (smorkage)'
You laughed at “smorkage.” Admit it.

sign in a shoe store demarcating 'The Cloggery'
I find the word “cloggery” quite a bit funnier than it actually is.

a rebus on the side of a round tower
That’s actually a rebus on the side of the replica Rundetaarn. Highlight the box below to read the hidden message:

Lead, God, the right teaching and justice into the heart of the crowned King Christian IV, 1642.

It took me five seconds to figure that out. How about you?

a sign stating 'ear piercing' next to an alarm box
Of course, telling you that the store sold earrings and that the sign wasn’t really describing the alarm box would ruin the whole joke.

sign declaring 'DANGER CLOSED AREA KEEP OUT' against a nearly vertical wall
You heard the sign; keep out from the sheer face.

urinal soap holder advising 'say no to drugs'
I personally base all my important life decisions on messages printed on urinal soap holders.

    Maybe you heard the sign, but I personally have never heard a sign.
