We found this bit of whimsy along a road somewhere in Alaska:
Someone had found a funny place for their unneeded land-line phone. There were several handwritten signs carefully enclosed in plastic. (I think more than one person had added signs from time to time.)
And, as long as we're looking at whimsical signs from Alaska:
We enjoyed a good meal at this BrewPub while staying in Soldanta. Too bad, so sad, we couldn't wait until tomorrow, so we had to pay for our beer.
LINKED TO LESLEY'S SIGNS SIGNS and THERESA'S GOOD FENCES. Thanks for hosting these memes -- great places to indulge in a bit of whimsy from anyplace in the world.
You have a knack of finding whimsical things. These are great!
I like the free beer sign...

Sallie - they have a "free" sign similar to this on the wharf in Old Town Sacramento - I think it says free oysters - tomorrow...

Now I know what to do with that old handset gathering dust in the garage.

Now I know what to do with our unused landline phones:)

Ha! The phone is very funny. I would be the one to leave a message. Hmmmmm , how about "at the tone, insert a dime". :)

Hi! Your posts are very interesting. A kind of humor is this post. I enjoyed your former posts very much. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, what a funny scene; an old phone in the middle of nowhere. Double D would probably stay in the pub until 12:01AM demanding his free beer. lol

The phone fence....how funny! :-) Loved the other signs as well, especially the beer sign. Tomorrow never comes....

Fun whimsical finds. I actually have one phone that old that I still use although granted it's in a room I rarely answer the phone in and these days most people call my cell. I've had the same land line number for 32 years and the same cell number for 15 so it's kind of hard to let either number go. I think I could switch my cell number to the land line number but then people would have to get used to my cell number changing to land number. Boy I sound like an old codger.

what a great set of signs

Love that old phone!

There was a bar in Arkansas that was named "Free Beer Tomorrow!" Wish we had arrived in Soldotna just a few days later, as the salmon run had not yet begun. We enjoyed river fishing and birding from our RV campground right on the bank.

Oh the phone on the fence is funny. (My mom actually has a "rotary" style phone that same color that still works). I think it's great that people added signs to it.

Cute stuff! Love the beer sign!
Posted by: Karen | October 02, 2014 at 11:19 AM
The old phone and signs are just too funny. To bad you couldn't hang around for the free beer.
Posted by: Gaelyn | October 02, 2014 at 10:54 AM
What fun, great finds Sallie!

Such a funny place for the phone! :)
Posted by: Mary | October 02, 2014 at 02:04 AM
Oh My, Sallie; These sure are funny and your last phrase gave me a smile(*^_^*) The telephone makes me feel really nostalgic:-) I think (or wish) we can have some sense of humor here for signs.
Have a great rest of the week, my friend.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

The signs with the phone are a unique feature. A mini outdoor museum could evolve there + signs. Free beer tomorrow - hmmm what if I said their tomorrow is actually my today...

Posted by: VioletSky | October 01, 2014 at 03:25 PM
Hahaha … I love the phone on a random country fence with a note from the President and I am glad to know whimsy is alive and well in the middle of nowhere. :)
