A couple of years ago I was in a grocery store and passed their display of
dinnerware. On the shelf was a hand-written sign proclaiming
"BOWELS 25% OFF". I went to the front of the store and asked if I could take
the sign home with me because no one would believe the story unless I could
prove it. He let me. :)
I once saw a roadside sign advertising "Antiques and Guifts". How can
someone who cannot spell "gift" manage to spell "antique"?
