Question of the day

Posted in:

* Springfield’s Grab-A-Java is well known for its witty, hand-painted advertising banners, like the one of Shakespeare with the caption: “To bean or not to bean?”

Get it?

Bean?

It’s a coffee shop?

* Anyway, I saw this one the other day as I was driving downtown…

Heh.

* The Question: Your suggestion for future Grab-A-Java captions?
