Hi,

He hates stationary items"

"Beware! A funny dog lives here
Suffers from "Bite-first-check-later" syndrome"

Mid-week post!

Hi,

Caveat: Blogger is not responsible for the aftermath.

Beware! No parking in front of this gate!
Residents' looks could kill!!

Parking for swanky cars ONLY in front of this gate
Residents just turned stylish and ultra-modern

Parking for sale, in front of this gate
Residents have depleted all their savings, shopping at ...........

Residents can offer valet parking services for nominal fees
They just spent all they had, shopping at ...

The "No parking" mania continues!

Hi there,

"Parking in front of this gate is at driver's risk
The gate may fall off anytime!!"

"Do not park in front of this gate
Inhabitants often turn possessive over things parked here!"

"Parking in front of this gate is at owner's risk
Residents have just purchased a bulldozer!"

"If you love your car, don't park in front of this home
Residents of this home exhale saline, corrosive air!"
(This would go well with the "Danger" sign - A skull and two bones)

"Parking in front of this gate is at owner's risk
Residents are badly in need of a drive!"

"Beware! Don't park your car in front of this house
Residents badly need a collateral to fund a loan!"

The Maturing of the "Cluttery"!!

Hi,

We live in a message-intensive word. I did a cute-little survey the other day. My neighborhood has 32 messages every kilometer. This survey was done in a residential locality. Each home has "No-parking" placards on its front gate "donated with love" by advertisers.

Fact 1: We live in a clutter-some world.

Fact 2: Our mind gets weak with these messages

Fact 3: It takes energy to have fun amidst this clutter.

Fact 4: Don't try to cut the clutter. Make it mean something. Truly something.

I had once doubled as a copy writer, primarily to bolster sagging personal fortunes. I could not allow writing die ever since. This exercise is to render a comical approach to stickers on cars / bikes / t-shirts.

The name Curtosis - is a morph of Kurtosis, a measure of the peak of a statistical (normal) distribution. Got bitten by this name owing to its inherent skew that beats the "normal".

I am glad to present the first set of messages. I disown all IP Rights of the contents and I also cannot be held liable for the effects (both good and bad) that these messages may cause, if someone dares to use them.

"I am a somnambulist!
I also drive at times!!"

"I am on liquid fuel!
Gimme something solid!!"

"I am a solar car!
But just can't give up drinking!"

"My mechanic has become a great friend!
Who wouldn't be, if you make visits often?"

"Beware! I changed 4 shoes in 6 months, pressing my accelerator!"

"Why risk seeing me on your rear view mirror? Don't overtake"

"Beware! My driving instructor was once a Formula 1 driver"

"Hate this traffic!
You simply dunno how much I wish to be a 2 wheeler!"

"I can actually fly!
But this driver is very mean!!"

"My car has 2 brake pedals!
I am a safe driver, you see!!"

"I quit smoking ever since my car began"

"I envy my car!
It can smoke and drink more than me!!"

"A sprain in the hamstrings can save a lot of fuel!!"

"I am actually a three wheeler. This guy gave me a hike for being good!"

For 2 wheelies:

"I am a 4 wheeler. I just don't show my true colors"

Happy cluttery!

Vijay
