This sign was posted at Big Bad John’s Hillbilly Bar in Victoria, British Columbia—of course, we went in anyway.
I came across this while wandering through the quaint streets of Wooster, Ohio, with my two dear cousins—who also happen to be good friends. Obviously we don’t think this sign refers to all relatives…
