This is just funny, I dont get to use the "Here's your sign" bit too often but when I do I get a kick out of it.
Aight then, on my way home from work tonight I pull up next to this guy whos hanging out his window to get my attention, and hes saying how much he likes the car and all and then he asks "Did you buy that new?" and I just couldn't help myself, I was like "Nope, I'm the third owner, last guy sold it to buy an 06 Camero. Here's your sign."

NOTE: Still dont have plates on my car, and have the dealers registration on the front window on the passenger side where he was positioned at, not to mention these darn things just came out.

Last Saturday, I had a guy ask me questions about my car like for ten minutes. His final question was, what year is it? I said it was pretty recent and told him I had to leave now!

it is a sketch that comedian Bill Engvall does, he is part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and has that TV show by the same name on Comedy Central with Jeff Foxworthy and a couple other guys that do the whole redneck comedy thing. It is his catch phrase like Foxworthy's "You know your a redneck if....". It revolves around people saying really stupid things based on what is very obvious, like if you had your keys locked in your car and were trying to jimmy the door with a coat hanger, and some guy were to walk up and ask "You lock your keys in your car?" Then you would respond with some smartallec remark like, "Nope, just washed it, gonna hang it up to dry. Here's your sign." It started with his observation of really stupid things stated on actuall signs and he did this as a recording in 96 with Travis Tritt singing the background. Here is a funny page I found with some examples.

I might add: part of the comedy sketch is the idea that stupid people should wear a sign around their neck so you won't waste your time answering their questions.

State Trooper sees an eighteen-wheeler truck stuck under a highway overpass. He gets out and strolls over to the truck driver standing by the side of the road.
"Got stuck, huh?"
Truck driver spits out a wad of tobacco and replies, "Naw. I was hauling that bridge and the truck broke down."

"Here's your sign."

My response in that situation would be: "Thank you Captain Obvious"

I got one for ya...I stopped to get gas on my way home from work just now and while inside paying the cashier had a friend up there (its a small town, not a lot to do) The cashier knows me and my car. His friend says "Can I ask you a question?" Sure, I said. This guy says "I have a bet going, is that a '67 Shelby?" The cashier and I look at each other, look out at my car, and we're both just kinda confused. I said "Uhhhh not that I wouldn't mind having it, but I hope not, because I paid for a 2005 Mustang." The guy hung his head and said he just lost $20.

An old guy asked me if my car was a 1970 Mustang. When I explained it to him, he still did not believe it. He thought I was kidding him.
