If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

If memory serves me right, I recall a beautiful 50's era neon sign reading Bill's Alcoholic Abuse Center at the old Tuman's Tavern while vacationing in Chicago circa 1998. Can anyone verify this, or is my memory shot? I bought a round of "Old Style" for 10 friends and I believe that grand total was $7!!!

Research indicates that the tavern reopened in a more gentrified way. This is apparently a new interior sign.

The one that reads "You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps!" is usually a good indicator of a joyless environment.

I saw a reproduction of that one in an antique/junk store. They also had two others.

"No Liquor Sold To Indians After Sunset" - Oklahoma Bar Association

And

"All Gamblers and Fancy Women Must Register With The Captain Before The Ship Leaves The Dock" - Mississippi Riverboat Captains Council

I bought the second one for my bookie friend who owns a bar.

Sadly this sign is in every TGI Fridays. They must be desperate to get people to come back.

OK, I'll bite. I know I've seen this before but can't remember what it stands for, dammit.

At an outdoor bar in St. Maarten, there was a sign on the wall that read "you can't drink the hole (sic) damn day if you don't start in the morning." So that's exactly what we did.
