I was so excited to finally find an example of AA to send in, but sad that it’s from one of my favorite websites (shirt.woot.com, a spin-off from woot.com ). It does beg the question, though… octopus’ WHAT, exactly, may be larger than it appears?

…and what’s a Caution Octopus?

Erik sent in the following:

This was taken at the CBS Studios in L.A. You know, the network that brought you 60 Minute’s and As the World Turn’s.

This flier came to my parents’ house in Southern California while I was there for Thanksgiving. I’m technically sending it because of “area’s” in the small print, but the best thing about it is of course the huge proclamation that no job is “to small.”

I’m sending you a picture from a bread store where a sign proclaims “Employee’s ONLY in Stock Room”. It was fairly easy to snap this picture unnoticed – and for that matter, I guess it’s fairly easy to steal from this store – because the employee is restricted to the stock room.

Cathy sent in this sign she spotted while vacationing Stonington Maine:

This little note was taped to all of the checkout counters at Bed, Bath & Beyond in Huntington Beach, California.

Spotted in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle:

Randy sends in this headstone from a cemetery in Jackson, MO:

Cast in stone. Mom would be proud. She is alway’s there.

Perhaps the headstone is referencing the community of Alway in Newport, Wales, which was always there for dear old Mom.

Ellen in San Jose, CA speculates about the logic behind this sign:

None of those other words ending in S have an apostrophe; guess
“competitors” shouldn’t, either.
