If at first you don’t succeed, maybe skydiving is not the sport for you.

If at first you don’t suck at painting signs….

There wasn’t going to be enough room for the rest of the word anyway

Well, he wanted to make a splash in the sign painting industry!

Yeah. What you all said.

There’s a face with a crew cut between the two roadside shrubs.

That painter wasn’t succeeding anyway. He didn’t allow enough room to fit “succeed” on the sign.

A quote attributed to W.C. Fields: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. If that doesn’t work, quit. There’s no sense in being a damn fool about it.

If at first, you don’t succeed the throne, try, try to succeed another one.
