That's a good one.   That reminds me of a marquee sign I saw on a tire shop
one time that said, "We cheat you right!"

This is from my Maui vacation earlier this summer:

http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2609896

I love the photo for the sign and the general feel of the place, 
although the shot itself in unremarkable.  Comments are nonetheless invited.

We have been going to Maui every other year since 1980, and it is by far 
our favorite place.  Of course, we stay in a condo near the beach, so I 
can dive or snorkel every morning

Makawao is "upcountry," separated from the beach by 40 minutes of road 
and a thousand feet or so of altitute, on the side of a dormant 10,000 
foot volcano.  One of the places we always visit when on the island, 
Makawao is a "cowboy town," home to the paniolos who still tend beef 
cattle on horseback.  On the Fourth of  July weekend, they have a big 
parade, followed by a three day rodeo, which is on the Budweiser Rodeo 
Circuit.  It also is home to a vibrant and growing community of artists, 
mainland retirees, quite a few native Hawaiians, and more than its share 
of the "free spirits" that gravitate to Maui and help make it colorful.

Polli's Mexican Restaurant stands out, even in a colorful town like 
Makawao.   With that sign, you just HAVE to get something to eat there.  
Plus, it was voted the Best Mexican Restaurant on Maui by the readers of 
the only local newspaper.  (Yes, there are other Mexican restaurants on 
the island!)

This is also part of my growing collection of interesting signs, which I 
hope to develop into a folder soon on photo.net.
