Recently two signs caught my eye and caused me to laugh. I didn’t have my camera on me, but thought I would share them.
The first one was at a store that sells used DVDs, CDs, etc.
CLOSED
We are closed for a funeral and will be back on Monday.
Sorry for the Incontinence.
Yikes! You don’t need to tell me about your bowel issues… It’s nothing to be sorry about, but there are doctors and specialists who can help you with that.
The other one was last night at Martin’s Supermarket on the Employee Board.
NO SMOKING
There will be no smoking on or outside the premises.
There will be no smoking on or outside the premises.
Employees who wish to smoke on their breaks may do so in their cars.
THIS WILL BE STRICTLY REINFORCED!!!!
Reinforced, you say? Will it be reinforced with steel rods put through concrete? Anyway, I had to laugh when I saw them. So before you pick up that broad black marker, for the sake of preserving some semblance of literacy in the United States, make sure you consult a dictionary first.
P.S. For those who are students or graduates of Jimtown High School, The correct wording should have been:
“Sorry for the Inconvenience”
“This will be Strictly Enforced“
“Sorry for the Inconvenience”
“This will be Strictly Enforced“
OK, you can’t judge all Jimtown graduates by Candy, she only went there one year. I know SEVERAL Jimtown graduates who maintain a soid presence on the deans lists of their universities. So there! As for the signs, they were probably written by Concord graduates.
I think living with Ed has addled your head.
I think that is too funny…Idunno, though ,I often get made fun of for making up words…don’t know whats worse, the “uncomfortability” of misusing words or making them up….lol
