Solve the Mystery?

Howdy, Bubba! Hey, if you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate you dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!

Every now and then I run across something that totally stumps me. Like this sign.

I’ve wracked my brain (sound of brain being wracked), but so far have not come up with a meaning for this one.

Anybody got any ideas?

    Men with platforms around their waist are now available to carry legless women with cards.

    Maybe the woman has only half body and they are in a table then the woman was on top of the table. :) )

    It looks kind of like it’s marking a bar to me.

    It also might be a lounge for magicians’ assistants who have been sawed in half.

    “Free exclamation marks available here. Men only.”

    But it’s probably a bar, made by people who have very fixed ideas about gender roles.

    It’s the international sign for “Magicians at Work”. (Not only has she been sawed in half, but she’s also picking a card!)

    Jump Ahead. / Hair Brush Available.

    You know it is a barrier that must be jumped because you can’t see the woman’s legs. If we could see her legs then this would be a Limbo Zone.

    The attendant will then brush your hair in case the jump was too stressful.

    Well my first guess was Ticketing Agent. Then I thought maybe lost and found.
    Turns out my first guess was right.

    The AIGA, the professional association for design refer to as Ticket Purchase.
    And here’s your signs. :)

    Okay, so I was at a loss for a funny answer and decided to figure it out.

    The idea of playing cards popped into my “Blue Brain.” The signed suggests a recreation/creativity lounge for employees. Bravo, for the business that encourages relaxation/fun to increase creative problem solving!

    Looks like a bartender serving someone to me.

    Women asking you for ID?

  26. # Oliveron Oct 27th 2009 at 9:17 am

    I think the woman is giving her Phone number.

    Ticket booth, and there is a barrier to stop people from passing through.
