Greenpoint, Brooklyn: Where all the Chickens are Laughing - Best Sign Remix

When is a sign more than a sign?

When someone takes an ordinary everyday Live Poultry Slaughter sign and turns it into one of the funniest remixes of letters ever seen.  Behold the power of a single letter.  Or rather, the lack there of.  Often in writing we add more words to try to get our point across.  To make things funnier, or send the message, we describe in detail every nuance of the scene.  But sometimes less really is more.  By cutting phrases, shedding words and crossing out letters, the funniest, most unexpected ideas will often appear before your eyes.

Who knew chickens had such a sense of humor?

The difference between walking by “Live Poultry Slaughter” and “Live Poultry Laughter” every day is, dare I say, life altering.  Thank you mystery paster who blocked out the “S” and turned Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s frown upside down.
