Should the sign "Slow children crossing" be read as "Slow, children crossing" or as "Slow children, crossing"?
Didn't you always wonder how the deer knew how to cross at the "Deer Crossing". Bet you didn't know they knew how to read.

Every morning on my commute I pass a restaurant with this large sign:
Under new management
Under new management
On one hand it states that if you had been doing business with them you were getting F**Ked and that is why it is under new management.
On the other hand, if you were not doing business with them, why would you want to do business with new management that may not have "experience"?

After the IRA (terrorist) bomb attacks in London some years ago, office buildings put up signs saying "Passes must be shown". I would gently enquire of the Porter (Janitor) "How many passes did he want to see". But then, other buildings erected signs saying "All Passes must be shown". That defeated me!

You know what's annoying? Crotchety old men more worried about semantics and giving people a hard time, than trying to help that person out.
Have a nice one.
Does that make me a crotchety old woman?
