My kitties believe I'm their mama. They associate me with food and clean poopy boxes. Sometimes Lister even looks at me lovingly and say, "mama". I melt and give him a treat. I don't know how he makes himself so soft when he wants a treat.

My co-worker added it could only be funnier if you added a question mark at the end. I agree.

Pointing out the error with a question mark isn't funnier than exclaiming it as truth. Your coworker is an idiot, and I hope you're only agreeing because a) said coworker is a female and b) doing so will further the cause of wanging her.

It makes it funnier because it becomes a rhetorical question you ignorant redneck fuck.

I stand by my previous statement, it's funnier as an exclamation of truth than it as a rhetorical question. Better luck next time with the wanging.

I agree. The more firmly serious the absurd statement, the deeper into absurdity you go.

You're both wrong. The correct punctuation for maximum hilarity of the sentence in question is a simple period, or full stop. This is the only way the maximum level of oblivious subtlety can be achieved.
May God have mercy on your souls for your folly.

Yes, but the punctuation cannot be at the end. It needs to be after the m in Lem.ons

The sentence is also in the passive voice. *blink* Checks are done? Who wrote that? What supermarket is that anyway? Tip: We perform checks throughout the day, ensuring the best quality of our produce. See Also: Yo bitch, them le.mons is fresh. For realz.

It is true. Ending absurd statements with periods further accentuates the seriousness and outright certainty one has with a ridiculous statement. Question marks are very noobish, and putting the period in some random place is just attention whoring, internet faggotry.

Exclaim "Perfect for orange juice!" aloud with a a high degree of excitement, as though you are selling the product on late night TV. Be sure to make the P in Perfect pop appropriately. It will be clear that the exclamation point is the correct choice.

It will be clear that the exclamation point is the correct choice. Uh, no. See, that'd be perfect if you were selling a juicer. The grocer is selling lemons and explaining to you, with no room for error, the following: Perfect for orange juice. Putting a '!' at the end just makes you sound like a child that has no clue what they're talking about. Like when a kid is just making shit up and thinks he knows what he's talking about "Mom! Lemons are perfect for orange juice!" Now imagine Ricky Gervais holding a lemon, smiling, and saying "Perfect for Orange Juice." Probably better if you think of Bill Murray holding a lemon instead of a glass of whiskey colored water. Putting an explanation point at the end of that would be stupid. Now remove Rene Magritte and Bill Murray from the sentence. Perfect for orange juice.

I like to think that it means that lemons make an excellent garnish for orange juice. A twist of lemon peel like you get with some cocktails. Or maybe the lemon DOES make orange juice? That's a pretty awesome lemon.

If the original sign had said "Perfect for orange juice!" I'd agree with you that a period would be better suited. However, we are arguing about the motivational frame, and stating the exact same thing, with the exact same punctuation that's in the picture above is most definately NOT funny.
