This post is written for Friday Fictioneers.
For the last 35 miles there had been 73 (he counted them) signs advertising Pedro’s restaurant. The kids in back read aloud every one. Actually it became a shouting contest between them.
“Your Always A wiener at Pedro’s.”
“You Never Sausage a place.”
“Pedro’s Weather Report: Chile Today, Hot Tamale.”
And the most appropriate one: “Keep Yelling Kids They’ll Stop.”
He knew they were in trouble when they crested the slow climb of I-95 into South Carolina. Looking to his right he saw what once was Pedro’s.
As they passed by the last sign said: “Back Up Amigo, You Missed It.”
Oh Danny Boy! 
Pedro es un mal hombre for not taking his signs down. Hoping a food stop comes along soon!

It seems Pedro was great at marketing. I wonder what went wrong. Very funny signs – shame the kids will have to wait a bit longer for their meal break.

Great signs, I’m sure your Pedro’s is far more successful than the one in my post!

Poor Pedro’s. I guess the signs didn’t bring enough custom 😦

Oh this is so sad. No one thought of taking off the (very funny) signs.

And I thought I was the only kid that read all the billboards out loud on road trips. 😉

Very nice tale. I especially liked the sign advising the kids to “Keep Yelling Kids They’ll Stop”,

I seemed to be able to post as “Anonymous” somehow. That last sign was great as well.
