    Bruce, not everyone has the same sense of humour! So I think i would be judicious about displaying it, Amos

    It could offend some feminists and worse , it could indicate that anything you promise to do for the customer could be delayed for many months...

    Assuming the intent is for your personal workspace - I like it.

    I think "every month" works just as well as "6".

    You could add an image to it too;

    I think its great.
    The world has gotten so PC that we are afraid to be funny
    You may also need a sign somewhere saying
    ''Please be aware there are signs in this shop that contain humour
    Please don't take offense''

    Thumbs up from me. Display it where ever you like. Life is way to short to worry about a few prudes. Everyone has the right to be offended at whatever they want but they also have the right to keep it to themselves as their comment could be seen as equally offensive.

    My two cents

    I forgot to mmention that my shop is my garage. The laser is for personal use only. So I won't be offending any paying customers

    One of my favorite signs hangs in my local watering holes. It reads "We don't serve women here, you have to bring your own"

    Lol, I find the sign hilarious and I bet my wife would too! You could drop the "ladies" and the sign would still work.

    Ahhh but if it offends 'feminists' that makes it all the better..Some feminists are offended just because your a man, and you exist!

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore


    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.


    Every silver lining has a cloud around it

    Personally, I think this sign is more insulting to the person who hangs it up than anyone else. It makes you look unreliable and uncaring. Even if it's supposed to be funny, I would think there are better things to be remembered by. Even though I know guys love this kind of humor, sarcasm is taken differently by different people.

    that's my two cents, dee

    Your shop, your sign. I think it's hilarious. But, be warned, the reminders may come more often!
