It might not be as common nowadays, but back in years past, you would bring souvenirs to people back home when you’ve been abroad for a while. Generally, these are simple, small items like cups, shirts, key chains, or other small bits and bobs.
It has fallen out as a common practice these days, but you can still hope, right? Just a little bit of something makes it all worth it and is a good reminder that at least somebody got to go and have an adventure. A local treat is a great choice. Because let’s face it, presents are all that matter in this situation.
Oh, Is That What's on the Sign?
The best way to greet someone at the airport is with embarrassment. This article is pretty clear evidence of that fact. This wife decided to give people something to stare at by writing (according to the attached story) an entirely false sign to greet her hubby.
We do hope that the husband is a fan of this kind of humor, and we hope that the wife is willing to feel some of the heat the next time she goes on her own trip. The husband could even use the same sign! Now there is a twist if ever we saw one.
That Sign Is a Ride
Even after you've stepped off the plane, you're going to need another vacation if this lady is waiting for you with a sign. First, you get a happy birthday message, and then you get a stiff reminder that time is unstoppable, and eventually, you'll end up in a senior home with no control of your bowels. Fun!
After that, it's a short message that the dog got at the birthday cake before anybody else could, and finally, a real welcome message. Yes, hold on tight because you're about to go spinning. Siblings can be so brutally honest sometimes.
Sorry, I Don't Know Them
This is the kind of sign that you see someone holding, and you think, “glad I'm not the one they're looking for.” Of course, if you are the person these two are looking for, you probably only have yourself to blame. You have to nip that kind of behavior in the bud, or it's just going to continue.
Burning the sign is the best option here. Make sure they're watching you do it, too. Put it in a metal trash can, douse it in gasoline, and toss a match. If other stuff catches fire, well, that's the price they'll pay for this kind of thing.
A Couple of Winners Right Here
In this picture, we see a pair of signs that...well, the one on the left is a little clever, even if it does have that kind of almost-humor that is so popular on the internet these days. Just mentioning something that COULD be funny doesn't actually MAKE it funny. As for the guy on the right, well, at least he has a sign.
You know, not every sign has to make people laugh. It could just say, “welcome home, we missed you,” or something like that. Pointing out that you ran out of ideas before you even started isn't going to earn you any sympathy points.
