It's comic sans free
hardytardigrade
Advisement number 1: use comic sans as much as possible
PooPculture
Being old in and of itself is not proof of knowledge or wisdom. How many of your parents gave you really bad advice?
spearioII
Take my advice, it's free. I also advice you to not use it!
SwayzeS
Now that's a fun booth! I think there should be one like it at every shopping mall, town hall meeting, carnival, movie theater lobby, & any other place where people casually gather for fun, food, or frolic....

Bad advice is even better, as long as it's someone else getting it within earshot.
Fargus57
I always follow the old adage that 'advice can be as dangerous to the giver as it is to the receiver'.I've always fount that to be very true
NervousAstronaut
No thanks. We have an overabundance of old, white men giving "advice". I'll walk down to the fun, colorful booth.
Kaivarii0210
I would stop at that booth. I bet the advice comes with some fun stories

Looks like a good spot for some whiners to have a boomer bashing fest.

Felatio advice?
sesamesnapsinhalf
Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

My father-in-law belongs at this table. He loves giving advice, and it’s often mind-bogglingly bad… like a “shortcut” between two places that takes longer than the regular way.
PlankTableGo
As an old coot: don't listen to a word of an old coot has to say - especially from a generation that destroyed the free world.
MightyIink
I would set up a laptop with an AI and offer "premium advice, $5"
lonosham
Free advice, but at what cost?!? Those barbarians use Comic Sans!

These the same ones that believe Donald Trump is the Savior and Protector of Freedom?

Is that the name of their podcast?

This is at the Salt Lake City Farmers Market. The summer one is picking back up again in June. These guys will be there like they always are. Caputos is great, we get sandwiches there on the regular. Their shop is dangerous for me.

This is the Regional Italian and Southern European Section of the Old Coots. Wait till you get to the Fennoscandic Section.

It is often right. You just won't know it for another 20 years.

It's technically a net profit because the return is two cents.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Even if it doesn't make any cents
professionallazyperson
You get what you pay for!

Is that *comic sans* on the bottom half of the banner? I think we can count on bad advice.

Never insult a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he won't have shoes.

If you’re going to wear an onion on your belt, make sure it’s Spanish.
AdelineThatsMeYo
I don't get it. :/
seentoomuchdeath
An episode of the Simpsons, where grandpa spoke of wearing onions on his belt, as it was the style of the day. It was just one part of an old coot rant
Beezlebubble
If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough.

Honestly I'd go talk to them. Older generations have neat stories and insights. Doesn't mean I'll agree, but hey, it's free.
swedeonamoose
Problem is the storys sometime go on for so long you have no idea wth it was even about by the time they just kinda fall asleep.
skincancerisfun
Your comment gives off these vibes
Teeeeeeth
Oh, that's certainly not the impression I meant to give. No one is obligated to serve a purpose, I only mean that I enjoy talking to older folks and hearing about their lives.
meganical
Wait, people don’t have older relatives that regularly pop up at random and give unwarranted advice? My uncles will search me down to tell me what they think I should be doing

randomwalrus
Maybe you are a ghost? What are your feelings on wailing, rattling chains, and tormenting the wealthy for their sins?
starrs3
I dont have older relatives. All my gparents passed away. And my parents are NOT people who should be giving advice.
kerBamf
I live in NYC. Most of my extended family is in Cali and I wouldn't go to them for advice.
starkeclipse
Maybe I'm weird, but I think this would be a blast to visit
ShaqWiggle
Plus it's right beside the Regional Italian booth. Get your free advice, then go get a sangwich!
LittleOddGames
that's not a food booth. That's where you get advice from Giuseppe, the regional Italian.
keyblader1985
If you want to hear a lot of republican, religious, or bigoted rhetoric, sure.
pfunk81
They've set something up in playful fun. Not like the "convince me I'm wrong" shithead.
keyblader1985
Do you actually think every hateful or bigoted person is miserable 24/7, or doesn't bring up that stuff unprovoked? Do you know how often I get "thanks Joe Biden" for random things from customers at work or elsewhere?
RedWingedBlackbirds
sigh - EVERY person of any group is not all the same. (Except Nazis maybe)
keyblader1985
Did anyone say that?

keyblader1985
I'm having trouble seeing "EVERY person of any group is all the same" in there.
rebutters
Nah, ask em sensible shit like how often you should reseed your lawn or how to fix a weed eater. Even a q-anon mechanic knows how to fix a car.
keyblader1985
That's not really "advice" though. It's basic instructions that you could find with a Google search.
thefreckledfox
Probably, but maybe not. Both of my parents would sign up for that in a heartbeat. They hate Fox News and republicans. They grew up in Mississippi during the civil rights times, and knew it was wrong then.
urboyevan2
They know all the Fox News talking points I’m sure.
RedWingedBlackbirds
Put any other stereotype in a comment and it won't go over well. Please use the same discretion before lumping a whole group of people together as 'same'
professionallazyperson
Can’t you guys leave politics out of things for ONCE? Ffs…
keyblader1985
I get the sentiment, but you can't expect that stuff to *not* pop up in this particular context.
professionallazyperson
What context? Old people?
keyblader1985
Yeah. Specifically, large groups giving life advice.
