I guess I’ll have to give it to you sharp-eyed readers. Yes, now that I look at it, the Back Away Table Tents are similar in tone to the classic, Danger Signs:

But, trust me when I say, shut the fuck up! Do you give Paulie Shore shit for playing the same character in every movie? No! And do you know why not? That’s right! You don’t care a whit about him!
Us, on the other hand, you care enough to bitch the very best.
Although similar, please, I beseech you to believe when I say there was no malfeasance on the part of any member of the Bound & Gags comedy consortium.
But, to be on the safe side, I will take a few of them outside for a little something I like to call the ball peen ballet.
As always, thanks for the feedback!

Similar slogans, similar implied attitudes, but different product line, and intended for different uses: the table tent, since it is smaller in scale is for keeping people from accosting you in a restauraunt, bar, or eatery of choice; while the danger signs, which are much larger and more easily seen, can be used anywhere–work, golf course, judges’ chambers, emergency room, jail.
No criticism here, just recognition for the need for two slightly different although slightly similar products.

Thanks Becky! Obviously you weren’t one of the dozen emails I got.
I can see the similarities but Henny Youngman told a shitload (which is a unit of comic measure) of wife jokes. I’m not even going to get into the Robin Williams dick dictum.

I whole-heartedly and willingly support all your comic endeavers and tasteless products, without question.

Sounds like more excrement to me!

Heck, it is a good idea no matter what format is used.
And you are correct, they only complained because you are worthy.
