"We do not except checks"...


Recommended Posts

I received an email from a new local classical school inviting us to an open house. They included a link to their website, so I took a look. On the ENTIRE website, the word "grammar" was spelled "grammer" over and over again. I took pity on them and emailed them to save their embarrassment.

for car shipping, I got an error when I put in my zip code. It said:

 

If you got this error you either entered in the zip code incorrectly or you

mis-spelt the city of destination.

 

Oh my. That was a dandy. I didn't do business with that company.

 

:lol: :auto: :lol:

There is a sign on a highway near here:

 

Hit A Worker

$10,000 Fine

Lose Your License

 

When you are driving 65mph down a highway...you really only notice the "Hit A Worker $10,000" part. My kids always think it means we'll get $10,000...surely there is a better way to word it.

Okay, so even though it's now on page 11, I've got one more:

 

Two weeks ago at my 20 year HS reunion, we were each given a t-shirt...and embroidered on the front of each shirt is Class of 89'. Does that tell you the level of excellence from my high school?!? :tongue_smilie:

On our trip to Washington DC, we took a picture of a sign by the windows near the bathrooms in the Museum of Natural History that reads:

 

"Please don't set in window seals. Thank!"

 

The "Thank!" part is what really gets me...

There is a green sign on the interstate out here in the West Valley that says:

 

Exit XXX:

 

State Prison

Zoo

Surprise

 

Of course, they mean the city of Surprise, but in my head I always think, "Umm..I think I'll take door number 3, Bob."

 

Barb

 

I've seen this one also.
