Found on Coney Island Ave between Newkirk and Ditmas, just around the corner from us. “A” noticed the sign last year, but I only just got around to taking the picture.

If you don't settle down I'm turning the car around this minute.

it could be owned by syrians. “sham” is the arabic word (well, one of them) for damascus, and sometimes syria as a whole. that leads to a lot of unintentional puns. if electoral reform ever happens in syria and they finally get to vote for their city council, no doubt it will be a sham election

Damn! In which case it’s only funny cause I’m ignorant!
Chris | 15-Oct-06 at 10:05 am | Permalink
Or perhaps it’s funny no matter what. In either case, I’m ready to declare it “a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.”

i wouldn’t call youself ignorant, i’m just making a blind guess that there might be some syrian connection. i have no basis for believing that other than the word “sham”, but i still just thought i would throw it out there
