Shorting stocks is LIFE

wjrii@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

Could be a metaphor, you know. Who knows what, or who, Babo’s is encouraging you to bet against.

Oho~, okay, interpreting the spelling error changes the literal meaning of the sign. For some reason I didn't connect the dots on that one until you pointed it out.

zeppo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don’t really think it was intentional, but that’s the generous, optimistic interpretation.

I try not too get to mad about this kind of mistake. Life is, indeed, two short.

Edit: Specifically, about "Drink Pepsi", when "Royal Cola" exists.

Thank you! Though, in humility, I think I'm a Crawley, at my best.

Maybe the restaurant is infested with investment bankers for whom life is indeed to short. Maybe the sign is a secret handshake to tell other investors they're welcome in this joint.

Too $hort eats babies, drinks Pepsi.

clears throat

...

I go on and on, can't understand why I love Babo's; must have a superpower ate 225-thousand meals. Get it calculated, do the math, I ate a thousand meals that made me shit my pants. And for the last 300 months I've had 16 restaurants put me in the hospital; heart go (paddles charge) bump. Where you get your meals?

I heard 93 restaurants say no MSG; 2 bypasses and 10 heart stints. And I'm still gon' yell it every time you see me eatin. What's my favorite word? FOOD! Why they gotta say it like $hort? FOOD! You know they can't clean off my plate, can't hang with the Big Smoke; can't finish that order.

Eat at Babo's

To short

w2tpmf@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y

The sign is to short for the other o.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y (2 replies)

They want you to come in and tell them the sign is wrong. It's weird advertisement.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y (1 reply)

You give the businesses in this town way too much credit.

to short

biofaust@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y

Ok, I will eat babies and drink Pepsi. No wait, there is no 'i': I will eat babes and drink Pepsi.

SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y (5 replies)

What do you have against us baby eaters?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y (4 replies)

The baby eating is fine. The poor grasp of the English language is deplorable.

SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Drink a Pepsi™ and life will be okay again.

It's to bad that the sign proofers didn't catch it.

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

That's some low-key trolling there.

I like it.

TunaCowboy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Life is to short to worry about babo's grammar. Have you tried drinking a pepsi?

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Nah, they are just saying that to live is to short the market.

VulKendov@reddthat.com · 10 pts · 2y

Life is to short as eat is to Babo's and as drink is to Pepsi

Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 7 pts · 2y

Life is too short to eat Babo's and drink Pepsi.

Can someone help me with what I’m missing?

astanix@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y (2 replies)

To instead of too

ramble81@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y

Ha! Read that over and over and missed that. Thank you!

Oh wow I completely removed the "to" in my head

RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Life is too short.

Pepsi is NOT okay.

intensely_human@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

No reason to get excited. Babo's is the name of the owner. They're not saying to eat baby's.

sanguinepar@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's the "to" in the line above that's the problem, I think. Should be "too".

intensely_human@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

They’re not saying too eat baby’s

happy now?

Is Eat Babo's the next meme stock being shorted?
