Police Shakedown on Beach Patty Man and Jerk Pork Man

[Chickster]

just curious, I notice on a lot of bars that have a sign hanging out front that reads some thing like It is our intention to apply... regarding licensing of alcohol. I always find those signs amusing.
what do they actually mean?

Norman and Dean should post something similar until this whole thing gets figured out.

The signs are essentially amusing and left in place because years ago tourists began taking pictures of them. Roy at Café Goa has even had one painted that says he is applying for a ganja license.

The signs are not meant to be a "temporary" permit, but are used to notify the neighbors and neighboring businesses of the INTENTION of this business to have future sales of liquor and spirits. Should anyone have an objection, they can air it at the next meeting. If there are no objections, then the license is usually granted. The signs are now left up as a tourist attraction.

The signs have no legal standing at all.

Aw man, bummer... I totally bought into this one.
I'm usually pretty good at picking up on these things, I knew the GOA one was a joke.
