Wow. Perhaps they’re celebrating that there is one student who actually is for McCain.
Thanks to Megan, who forwarded this article from DailyKos, and Angie, who sent in the image and link to the item on the official John McCain website.

From Elizabeth:
I spotted the sign in the attached photo at Dune Dog Beach Grill in Jupiter, Florida on a recent visit. I thought the placement of the apostrophe between the r and the e in “wer’e” was really creative. Not once, but twice! Perhaps it should read: “If wer’e not in English class, wer’e at the beach!”

Sign espied in the “Giraffic Park Petting Zoo” at the Great New York State Fair. Perhaps they mean to remind the “zoo keepers” that the pen in question belonged to the Llamas? Or maybe it was a grammar quiz – all part of the intellectual fun at the New York State Fair.
Yee haw!

From Cliff, who spotted this sign
… in the Short North, Columbus, Ohio.
Perhaps this restaurant is NOT in town and they’re just letting customers know where to proceed for the best gyro.
