This way! No, that way!

I spotted this clearance sign on a car wash in Texas many years ago. I wonder if the sign maker was drunk or just wanted to mess with font nerds. You know those people who really care about Helvetica vs. Arial and break out into a cold sweat when Comic Sans MS shows up everywhere?

I'm going to guess this little wonder makes them similarly uncomfortable.

Clearance 88... what?

Thinking about it now, I spotted something similarly nutty on a sign out here in the valley a couple of years ago. There's a picture of it in my "brick bulkhead" post from December 2011.
