Funny Friday's ~ Only In Austin ~ 9/9/2022

El Arroyo is an iconic local spot in Austin. They make the best hand-squeezed margaritas and serve Black Angus beef tacos (along with many other Tex- Mex offerings) and have since 1975!

A quirky marquee is out front on the corner of West 5th and Campbell. Every day they change their bill board with a new pun (everything imaginable).

They encourage you to submit your pun on their website and of course have permission to post them. It’s one of those “Keep Austin Weird” things that we all love!

They post them on Instagram because everyone loves them. We all need some laughter or a chuckle each day! I always check out to see the new pun for the day. 

                             Hope you enjoy these! Happy Friday!!

The food sounds fantastic, and I love the signs. I admit to having Amazonesia. I'm like, hmmm, what did I order?

Those are good and I wish that I had more time to take naps, haha.  I love to nap but never have time to do so.

Dorie I can relate to the toothbrush quote.  Several years ago a friend decided to play a practical joke on me, so she cut the bristles on my tooth brush and soaked it is pickle juice.  😝

Those three signs are hilarious, Dorie.  I like that last one about the toothbrush, best.  But, that first one, hits me where I am sometimes!

Hi Kat Palmiotti : The food is good. We drove by El Arroya last night on our way to another restaurant and of course had to drive slow past to read the sign!

Hi Kathy Streib : I heard the same thing but I think they feel the vibe is better closer to the Texas State University in San Marcus.

Okay, now I want a taco and margarita. I am pondering the hand-squeezed part. 
Regarding the puns: One of my clients is a self-proclaimed "drunk shopper".  She bought the same top 7 times.  All I can say is she must have really liked that top!
