Coffee’s wrong, Foods right

I found this on the window of the Coffee Depot in Breckenridge, CO. Funny how they got the plural right bor the food items, and wrong for the coffee choices. They make good coffee, though :-)

Talk about your niche markets…

Every time I pass this little neighborhood store, I wonder just how many Kid’s Sofa Outlets there are out there and how could they need enough furniture to keep this place in business for the last 15 years.

Major League mess-up

The Cleveland Indians have been running a promotion with Subway restaurants this season. Apparently the “Cleveland curse” has spread to proofreaders as well.

You’re Kids Learn Hear?

Well, obviously ‘going by the rules’ doesn’t include grammatical rules! This is posted on a cooler in the front of the cafeteria at my son’s old school and has been there at least two years or longer. This is just one more reason I wouldn’t put my other two kids in this school!

Not in the right place. Not even an apostrophe!

Spotted in Burnley, Lancashire, UK.

Gecko money

“If anyone sees $25 laying around, please give it back to the gecko, it belongs to him.”

This was on the wall in a restaurant in Cambodia selling decorative gecko statues. I can only assume that each gecko comes with its own bank account.
