Save $5,000
I forgot to take a picture of the previous sign, which received a mixed response ("Is the prize you're chasing worth the price you're paying?"), but here is our latest effort, based on a parishioner's suggestion, which I just put up:
If you don't get it or you're not from Sydney, then the relevant background is that there has been something of a scandal in the headlines here recently when the State government announced a new fine of over $5,000 for annoying a pilgrim at World Youth Day (which is to be held here in Sydney soon).
UPDATE: Whenever he goes on holidays, my rector tells me to get the sign into Column 8. I managed it last time with Death Sucks and then Jonathan just pointed out that this latest one was also successful. I've already updated it to a suggestion from my wife: "Lost Pilgrims Welcome Here".

That is funny!
and surely next week you can follow on with a delightfully ambiguous "Annoying Anglicans..."
That is great.
And I liked the one last week - I saw it in its perspex glory as I went to chase the prize of Big Love at JB HI-FI, which they didn't have so I didn't get to pay the price or get a prize - true story.
Oh and speaking of annoyances a month or so ago there was apparently an impromptu protest about same-sex marraige out the front of my church. It was a Saturday night so no one was around but I thought it was odd that they would protest out the front of a Uniting Church especially considering Moore College is 500m up the road - the epicentre (according to D.Marr) of Christian teaching against homosexuality. Perhaps Anglicans have some kind of immunity from such things.
Brilliant!
Great sign.
It's made Column 8 this morning.
Thanks everyone - it wasn't my idea, but I'm delighted to be part of it. And thanks Jonathan in particular for pointing that out. My rector will be thrilled.
