What If I Want "Green"?

When did red become unique enough to deserve quotation marks? Just can't find good help these days. *sigh*

Thanks to Carly for this one.

Have Your Hair's Done, Then Eat "Lunch"

Took a trip through South Carolina recently. It was a Spring Break time, so we kept to the back roads. Which turned out to be a bonus when we passed through small towns.

First I saw the Wig's sign, so I did a quick U-turn, then turned down the side road to get the picture. U-turned again to get back on track, and while waiting at the stoplight, saw the restaurant sign. BINGO!

The restaurant sign cracks me up. Capital letters sprinkled throughout. Random quotation marks. The change from Every Day to Mon-Fri (were they going under offering those deals on the weekends?)

It was all I could do to not tour the entire little town looking for more. Ah, but we were running late and I wanted to get to our destination before dark.

Maybe some day soon I'll tour some small towns nearby and see what I can find.

Now who in their right mind would do that for fun?

"Menu withOut "ANY"...direction

Oh my. Here's another one that is too much to show in a small photo - click on the picture to see a larger view.

It's almost like a game - see how many errors you can spot! Count them out and leave a comment with your total. If there aren't enough for you to spend a few hours finding them, this is only one page from the menu. I'll see if I can get the other pages up later.

I felt bad for the place; it looks to be a small Mom and Pop restaurant, so I covered up the name.

Maggie, who sent this to me, has the (inglorious?) pleasure of working there. I wonder how hard it is to have to look at the menu every shift. Don't you want to run home, retype it, and run some new menus off for them?

At least they spelled you're correctly.

OK - I added the rest of the menu below. I didn't block the name here - it appears in too many places. Oh well. Again, click on the photo to see the menu in full glory. And yeah, I know it's a different color - not a great testament to my photo taking abilities.

Please Decipher And Get Back To Me

If anyone knows what this sign is trying to tell us, please let me know.

I hope it makes sense to those it is intended for.

Of course, the obvious is the added quotation marks, which are completely unnecessary.

Funny thing is, I don't mind the use of the abbreviated word 'thru'.

But the rest of it is a plain mess.

Thanks again to Kristilyn.

Not "Just" Another Menu Selection

Not a clear photo, but you get the picture (pun intended). This is from a menu courtesy of Desi - thanks Desi!

Desi told me about a great comeback yesterday. When someone says that they're done, she says, "People aren't done! Turkeys are done! You are finished!" Haha! I love that line!

How is it that quotation marks have gained so much popularity recently? Do people think that if they add some quotation marks, it will look professional? Hardly.
