Things I like about Chicago

There are bus stop benches all over the city that read:

YOUR AD ON THIS BENCH


And nearly every one of them, as if the city as a collective whole decided it was a typo, has been amended to read:

YOUR AD ASS ON THIS BENCH


Though my favorite one reads:

YOUR AD CUNT ON THIS BENCH





At the hospital, someone put up a handwritten sign by the elevators on each floor that read:

I lost my dark brown
backpack. Please call.


and on each floor, in different handwriting, it's been amended to read:


I lost my dark brown lover
backpack. Please call.

My favorite Chicago sign was a few winters ago on a billboard for Effen vodka. It simply said "Effen Cold." And it was.
