The best part is, it looks like they spent money having the sign professionally made.


By the way, am I the only who comments on these things? Come on people, this is funny stuff.

The white letters engraved on a red plastic plaque really pull the customer in, don't they?

I'm surprised you've all never heard of the Jombo - it makes particularly delicous hotdogs.

Jombolicious?

I ate one of those hot dogs and can only sum it up with one word...eculi.

I rather like the sign; compels the customer to ask the vendor if there is a difference between a jombo and a jumbo -- in NY, I would imagine it further compels the vendor to suggest what the customer can do with his query.

Maybe the vendor's NAME is Jombo? I knew a guy named Jombo, not a nickname or anything.
