This sign says it all. It’s Valentine’s Day, and your wife, the woman who raised, fed, bedded, and made the home that you have been living in for most of your adult life, is wondering where you are. She gets a phone call from Patty down the street.
“Did you know I saw your husband on the TV? Yeah! He’s at a soccer match, and he was holding up a sign that he ran away to watch it.” That’s assuming Patty watches soccer tournaments.
Eating Them up
Picking a mascot is a tricky thing to do. You want the animal you chose to symbolize something powerful, something your fans can get behind. You want it to exude strength and pride. Animals from the top of the food chain are usually a popular choice of mascot. Take the Jaguars for example.
While we acknowledge the importance of every animal to the Earth and its ecosystem, we wouldn't recommend opting for a tiny little bird to serve as a mascot. Let alone when you play against a team whose mascot could literally eat yours.
A Good Day
There is so much going on in this picture that we didn't even need the sign to do a double-take on it. Sure, the sign has iאs humor, proudly held up to encourage the Rams' handsome quarterback, Jared Goff. But there are also a few other things worth mentioning.
First, the watermelon hats. How great are those? Then, there is the guy on the left who went all the way with proper fan attire and used cheerleader pom-poms to create some event-worthy hair. Props on the ingenuity!
A One-Man Team
"Baby! I'm getting ready. I've been working on this sign all week. Everyone's gonna love it! It's not a waste of time! All the guys will be there, and I want them to notice my awesome sign-making skills."
Legit, it's a pretty funny sign, but poor dude, he worked so hard on it only to end up being the only fan in the stands. Jokes aside, this fan actually sat back in the stadium at the end of the FIFA Confederations game in 2013. "Honey, I'll be home soon. I got invited to do a photo shoot after the game. Don't wait up!"
Don't Tell Mom
There are several signs with similar humor in this article. This one's mom thought he was at school, the other one's boyfriend thought she was out buying milk, and another lady's husband left to pick up the kids. Let's hope we'll come across something more original in the future.
Just brainstorming for the next generation here: "Mom, I asked you if I could come to the game, and you gave me permission." Or "I had great grades this year, so I got to catch a game for my birthday."
