You can't un-C this sign unless you look at it straight-on.

Having been flunked out of Architecture years ago, working for the construction company, Gilbert was finally able to exact his revenge!

I would think that the word "PLANNING" would have wrapped around the corner. It's as though the installer went right to left. Just sayin'

Maybe if it was the "College of Planning and Architecture" instead, this would have been foreseen...

Final design and installation of the sign carried out by Bubba, of the facilities and maintenance department.

Bubba has decided to take a job with the federal government, designing and installing the border wall.

They are both right, it was originally done as a joke on the entrance to the loading dock, but has since been redone...

The designer must have the same problem with his key board as me,... my letter 'see' on my keyboard only works half the time also.

This picture was not submitted to be news.... It very well could be fake. It was submitted by me because I thought it was funny enough to be part of our "Caption This". Being a conservative I see more than enough fake news out there. This is for all of us to have fun with.

That being said, I think you need to stop checking my pictures on CNN (Clinton News Network) to determine if they are fake or real.

(please take no disrespect on this Mr. Eagle, I am just trying to have fun here.)

Don't get your panties in a bunch, that was my response to the 'caption this'...I decided to go a different way, as I sometimes do... It's funny because it's true....

It was always the plan to re-use the sign from the old building.

Hey I attended that Ollege for 5 years: I can't imagine why some clown put a "C" on the wall.

Yet another reason you schedule the brick mason to do his work before you have the sign guys come out and do their job.

...that's the risk you take when you allow the students to act as the contractor.

Obviously, there were fantasies at play here between an architectural student and a cheerleader. When she cried out: "Give me a C" !!----he, of course, complied.
