The sign behind the bar

From Nelson Algren's novel, "The Man with the Golden Arm".

The sign above the cash register of the Tug & Maul Bar indicated Antek the Owner's general attitude toward West Division Street:

I've Been Punched, Kicked, Screwed, Defrauded, Knocked Down, Held Up, Held Down, Lied about, Cheated, Deceived, Conned, laughed At, insulted, Hit On The Head And Married, So Go Ahead And Ask For Credit I Don't Mind Saying No.
