What I mean is, say there’s there’s a neon sign with one letter burnt out with hilarious results. What did it say?
The “L” on the sign of our local Big Lots burnt out, leaving it saying, “Bigots: The Closeout Store.”
Also, a few years back, the sign outside our movie theater was missing a “U” – everyone was really excited to go see “Sperman” at the movies.

Me and my friends were messing around one night and we found a sign that said “Whole belly clams.” It was outside a diner, and we changed it to say “Whore belly clams.” And as we were walking away, we saw another sign that we hadn’t even touched (completely true story), it said U.S. Made Leather. It was on top of a building and it was upside down.
I lurve “Whore belly clams.” LOL
