You want me to take my shirt off?

Our pal Jason's written in again to tell us about this confusing sign.

I don't know where to begin. This could mean that shirts, pets, shoes and service are all forbidden on the premises. Or perhaps pets are mandatory. Who wears more than one shirt anyway?

 

I think the simplest way to fix this is to separate the "No pets" message from the dress code.

 

No pets.

No shirt, no shoes: no service

 

However he phrases his sign, he needs to get rid of that stupid illustration at the bottom; that would cause me to snap. Perhaps I could protest by letting a dog, dressed in shoes and a shirt, into his shop. Would the dog qualify for service?

I live five minutes away, and I have access to a dog. Now I know what I'm doing Friday night!
