This is one of the ones I would have been strongly tempted to rib the employees about. Good eye, Susan!

The perfect send-off into the weekend. I’m not sure what this means, but it sure is fabulous.

Meg found this one and wonders “Is it a sandwich or a candle?”
Mostly it just makes me hungry.

Susan sent me a boatload of pics recently, so get ready, y’all.
I wonder if this tragedy was perpetrated by the person who ordered the sign or the maker? If the former, did the maker notice the error and choose to replicate it anyway, or did two different people not notice? This sort of question keeps me up at night.

In the third (and, as far as I’m yet aware, final) installment of my father’s “Errors Through Israel” photography series, we have this rumination.
What, exactly, is a non-open pit? Lao Tse says that the most important thing about a bowl is what isn’t there… a bowl without an empty space wouldn’t be a bowl. Is a pit that isn’t open a pit?
Ah, grammar and Lao Tse. That’s how to start a weekend.
A… school of errors?

What is the herd plural of “error”?
In other news, the lovely Lisa R. says:
Park Slope Brooklyn: I sigh in shame for you. This at the fish counter at Union Market, which is swanky enough to know better.
Is this worse than a frumious Bandersnatch?

My father says, “Watch out for slippery!” Personally, I think the worst thing about this sign is the comic sans. 🙂

Or, you know, “Shabbat” “shalom.”
Big thanks to my father, who found this one lurking somewhere in Israel!

Outdoorsy John found this one in a restroom along the Appalachian Trail. It’s a little tough to see, but that’s definitely a “Your welcome” lurking down there.
Personally, I feel that if you’re going to deface perfectly nice signs paid for with my tax dollars, you should at least spell your graffiti properly.
Thanks, John!
Of course…

…only what they mean is “coarse.”
PetCo, people. A major national chain. Round of applause.
