How do these kinds of signs work? do they remake the sign ever couple days? at almost 70k citizens someone moving, being born or dying must be at least a weekly occurrence, right?
I say we get rid of Mitch and Patty’s kid. No, not the younger one. Oh, sure, she smells like spoiled milk and calls everyone Mike Wazowski. But after a couple hundred times, you learn to ignore her. No, I mean the older one, the one who threw the Sanderson’s cat in the pot at the fish boil last weekend. I tell you, the boy’s gonna be trouble. We can’t have someone like that growing up in our city. He’s got to go.
The citizens of Eau Claire formed a lynch mob to hang the sign painter for lying to keep the sign from being stolen. The population had been 69,420. After he was hanged, the population was 69,419. They tried to hire a sign painter that would lie and paint a sign that read 69,420 but all the sign painters were afraid of being hanged for lying. The city council tried to change the penalty for lying to a misdemeanor, but they were short one vote because one of their members was attending his son’s funeral after he was hanged.

I’ll do it!! 😂
“Did you hear Bob died?”
“Nice…uh…I mean…I’m sorry to hear that.”
My vote is this Claire girl
I hope by “take one for the team” you mean someone needs to move out of town, cause that’s definitely an option here
*As you lie there nobly dying, you hear the neighbors talking outside about someone who gave birth to twins JUST NOW.*
I’d wager that there are 69420 people but the sign kept getting stolen.
My dad lives there!
Let me make a call..

so many antivaxxers in that town. I imagine the number is much lower now.
source: I lived up the road in Menomonie.
I’ve never figured out if it’s OH Claire or YU Claire.
Judge: You are being charged with murder, how do you plead?
Defendant: Your Honor, the population was 69,421.
Judge: Nice. Case dismissed.
Yea I’m Claire. Who’s asking.
Let’s kill Nancy.
Opposite side of the state from Bong Recreation Area.
Perhaps too many people took one for the team.
Hello Wisconsin.
Ah shit, that’s my home town and I never updated my residency when I moved. This one’s on me, guys.
All I can think of “aauuuuu ppairrrrr” from “The League”
Didn’t expect my city to be here but ok. Time to peace it seems
Someone needs to take one for the team
Jimmy needs to kill himself.
What?! Why would you say that? I meant someone needs to move out
Do you know how hard it would be for jimmy’s family to watch him leave?
They live in Eau Claire, they’ve _all_ taken one for the team.
They added one so the sign wouldn’t be stolen.
*cocks gun* Time to even the odds.
What am I missing. Don’t get it.
I will volunteer my ex, she lives there ha
Drive by there all the time and never even noticed before.
not it.
Time to kill old Jerry at the department store
lolololololol
Have you read The Lottery?
Justin Vernon something something bon iver
69/420 posts are overrated and boring. Change my mind. I probably make 69420 people mad right now.
As of 2022. Eau Clair now has 68,898.
Source: I live near there. (Wisconsin)
Change that sign to read “69,420”, and they’ll be replacing it weekly.
John Menard is getting up there in age.
The town actually has 69,420 people but they had to fudge a person as the local high school kids kept stealing the sign
I don’t understand. Where is the joke?
“Hell Eau, Claire-ese.”
What’s the significance? I have no idea what one number less on the sign would mean…
Reddito momento

Lots of Wisconsin posts this morning, love it!

I lost track after that.
