Maybe they mean it in the sense of working someone hard?

Silly me, and here I thought straight people were known to eat ass too...

Matthew Sheppard must be turning over in his grave.

Lets not say fag no more its tacky.

Haha, I remember driving through Cle Elum about 6 years ago and cracking up at that sign. I was with a group of 6 people, and apparently I was the only one that found it funny :) Glad to see it's still there

Both, obviously.

I've got a bone to pick with you about DotW this week- why on Earth did you resort to featuring a beach towel...?

It's okay—Kelly O is the biggest fag I know.

kelly o is hilarious. fag = cigarette in the UK. i think this joke went right over the heads of several faggots.

i'm talking about bundles of sticks here folks! lighten up!

fags eat ass

Bears and leather boys chew ass

Ain't nothin' in Cle Elum but steers 'n' queers, and Ah don't see no horns on you!

The even better Cle Elum sign is the one on the freeway beckoning you to turn off at the next exit.

Hmmmm! Chewin' Butts! I'm hungry.

This interpretation is not a results of your perpetual gutter mind. All good discount tobacco shops have dirty names.
