I suspect all the signs were done by one person. My guess is he tried to make the "handwriting" (spraypaintwriting?) different, but there is a certain larger similarity amongst the characters from the three signs. The white poster suggests to me that this is a clever ad from a print shop, perhaps targeting a rural clientele.
You may be right. This setup looks like a play on the phrase "dirt cheap." However, the professional sign does not give the name of a business nor contact information.

Possible to do, but not comfy, and I certainly can't read it as fast.
But if you don't know the difference between Recipe, Receipt, Receive, Recipiant, etc, because you've been taught spelling on the American Plan, what happens then?

Also, I doubt if it works for those who read English as a second language. Likewise, I could not read, for example, Spanish if the words were jumbled like that. Anyway, I have to admit the paragraph shocked me the first time I read it. Most of the words are not identifiable outside the context of the paragraph, pretty funny.
