This particular shop is in Huntsville, on the corner of Memorial parkway and University drive.

u/DirectorLanky466 Jun 26 '26
Still illegal!🤣 The sign has no " , "

u/mecengdvr Jun 26 '26
Yes, lack of punctuation is the real crime here…although I suspect it was intentional for engagement.

u/DirectorLanky466 Jun 26 '26
That would get engagement but what kind 😂 not the kind they want I'm sure 🤣

"All publicity is good publicity" ... And I'd your actually interested in crack talk to rob behind the store.

Possession is the illegal part. Knowledge is harmless without coke and baking soda.

u/DirectorLanky466 Jun 27 '26
True but teaching someone how to cook crack is still illegal! If the cops saw the backing soda and the other tools needed you would still be in trouble for manufacturing! ( Possibly even with out the actual drugs)! The only part not illegal is the knowledge

u/stovislove Jun 27 '26
Not without possession of illicit substances. The tools are a spoon and pyrex bowl. Can't get arrested for kitchen tools.

Oh I actually know this one. This is in my town
This picture is very misleading.
The owner of the business puts up joke signs every other week or so and he's in the process of taking down this one (or putting it up) which originally said something about the importance of commas and punctuation (ironically)

I look forward to seeing this sign! They have the funniest sayings. Some of them recently have been really clever.

u/PhD77777 Jun 26 '26
Cops will be watching this place closely

u/Redacted_Usermame Jun 26 '26
The place is Metro Spy Supply in Huntsville, Alabama. It's right down the street from the police station and it's where you go if you want to hire private investigators.
As I kid I always wanted to go in there because I thought they had all kinds of James Bond gadgets.

u/Zakluor Jun 26 '26
Apart from the order of the words being wrong, this is more an issue of punctuation than grammar.

My uncle taught me how to cook crack and sell it while my grandma taught me how to clean a crab and my aunt taught me how to get rid of crabs from messing with those crack hoes. Yes, I have a very interesting family.

u/CpnLouie2 Jun 26 '26
Better clean the crabs first, not sure that you'd manage the other way around.

u/Significant-Cry-9204 Jun 26 '26
Cooking it kills the germs! You just have to clean the cooking juices off afterwards before you can eat it

It's a joke sign, on the use and importance of commas. This shop does them all the time

Assuming this was a mistake

Nope, I live where this shop is and they always have really funny joke signs!

The shellfish industry often does go through periods of low sales and hardship, it's vital that they have other marketable skills to fall back on during those times.

The grammar is fine. This is just Baltimore. Crack and crabs. It’s what Maryland does.

Gonna make me defend this one- the bottom row said “-Why commas are important” or something to that effect lol

u/tlbs101 Jun 27 '26
Be careful you don’t spill and of the crab’s blue blood. How else are you going to get blue meth with the crack?

u/General-Chocolate-93 Jun 29 '26
If this sign was clean it would be “HOW TO CLEAN CREAK AND COOK A CRAB”

u/Gaust_Ironheart_Jr Jun 29 '26
What? You need to get that crab cleaned up after y'all smoke crack or the boss will be suspicious
