SILLY SIGNS. . . . .LET'S START A THREAD ?

[old man emu]

Wolf Blass created a sparkling Australian red wine called René Pogel. When people inquired who this person was, Blass advised them to read the name backwards (leg opener). This innuendo caused offence and so the wine was withdrawn from sale.  As well as ordinary anecdotes, cartoons and jokes, the whimsical labels and names given to wine are a particular source of amusement. Humour is usually rare in the world of wine, and wine jokes may only be amusing to wine obsessives.

 

The best humorous names are those which stick it to the pompous.  The South African Goats do Roam Wine Company produces labels with names such as Goats do Roam, Bored Doe and Goat-Roti. The Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (INAO) has protested at the similarity of these names to the French appellation Côtes du Rhône but winery owner's defence is that the names are based upon the goats which roam about his  winery and has made counter-protests with a herd of goats outside the French embassy.

This popped up on my FB page as a memory from four years ago. Funny, because I was in Woolies yesterday, and they were selling hot cross buns.

Consumer pleading to Mammon:

 

 O Mammon! Let us finish the Christmas pudding before we have to start on the hot cross buns.

 

John 2:14-16

English Standard Version

In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.”

 

Mark 11:17

 “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.”
