Ho, Ho, Ho, DC-Style
NOTE: The next new Mouse Print* will be on January 2.
On a recent trip to Washington, DC, MrConsumer was drawn to the fine print on the back of a one-way street sign.
On the reverse side of the sign was a tiny disclaimer that one would normally see in a product warranty:
*MOUSE PRINT:
Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah from Mouse Print*.
I’d love to have known if you saw that sticker on other signs like this around the city.
Edgar replies: James, I looked at a few others, and didn’t see it. I can only assume that someone printed these disclaimers up as a joke and posted them randomly.
Comment by James — December 19, 2011 @ 11:15 amWell, I hope it’s a joke. I’d hate to see cities start offering themselves with warranties like “your tax dollars do not guarantee trash pickup, public safety or a fire truck when you are in need.”
So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year back to you.
Comment by RS — December 19, 2011 @ 12:37 pmActually that sticker looks a lot better than the official ones.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to those that celebrate them.
Happy holidays to those that don’t.

Comment by John P — December 20, 2011 @ 4:22 pmI was home in PA a few months ago and saw a sign posted under a stop sign- “Complete stops- FREE. Rolling stops- $110.50. Your choice.”

Merry Holidays, Edgar!
Thank you Edgar for another year of timely and important information. And may the mouse’s vision remain 20/20!
