I spent 10 years cold calling businesses big and small.

Everyday I would see similar signs.

I lived outside of the US for 20 years so I always find statements like "only in America" and "world famous" good sources for a laugh.

One time I was in a small town and walked by a small card table in front of the store with a sign that said "World Famous Discount Table".

Wasn't sure if the owner was delusional, ambitious or ironic.
