As you walk down the street, your eyes catch a peculiar sight—a modest building with a sign that reads,

"dado fine House of laundry and tan and also veterinarian."

The mismatched lettering and odd phrasing are only the beginning.

Standing outside, beneath the sign, is a man wearing a navy blue suit, a purple tie dotted with yellow polka dots, and dark purple trousers.*

What truly grabs your attention, however, is the cardboard box on his head. Crudely drawn on the box in black marker is a lopsided, grinning face.

The man turns toward you and, with a cheerful wave, says,

“hello yes, u have reached dado house of fine pharmaceutical also laundry and tan. Please also visit dado short term loan and vhs rental store while in town.”

His words are peppered with spelling mistakes and odd phrasing, his tone brimming with pride.

“yes, i am dado, of course, purveyor of fine dado business."
