Do you refer to a poorly-timed sneeze?

I've seen this in the past with a few variations. User mthornton reminded me of it in the "drive faults" thread.
It seemed worth making a sign.

I'm thinking about getting a sign like that to mount above the door of the Top shack on the Village Express. Somedays it feels like we are going crazy.

I got it in the Halloween section at WalMart. It hung above my room door in Yosemite, then I thought it'd be perfect in my truck!

You see it all the time on I-70 between Vail and Idaho Springs during peak traffic. What could you expect? Although I have to agree, you don't need it east of Floyd Hill. Seriously, CDOT needs to get a better I-70 monitoring system to get very accurate travel times and transmit them to Blackberries.

Bought a new dry erase board for my shop. The lable is pretty humorous when you read it out loud in your best advertizing voice, mispelling not withstanding.
