The "click it or ticket" electronic highway banners have awful puns or bloopers from time to time. I saw "drive with cake"(not care) on social media.
This is so funny. I loved reading it again. I can't think of anything that I've heard recently or even remember the weird things I've read in the past, many times in the newspaper. Thanks for sharing these.
Those things are puzzling, but what's worse are the instructions included in products produced in China and other countries. Some of the translations leave us scratching our heads.
Ads for medication on television often say, "Do not take this if you are allergic to any of the components."
I wish I could remember some of the ones I've seen. The most frequent one is not using an apostrophe showing possession or a contraction. I wonder if apostrophes are expensive.
Hilarious! I'm still picturing the car walking by the side of the road.
Margaret, driving with cake doesn't seem like such a bad idea, altough cupcakes might be easier to handle without interfering with the driving.
Gloria, local newspapers can be a wonderful source of slightly off statements. Almost as good as church bulletins.
Grace, you're right. I can remember instructions that read along the lines of "Carefully placing tab E in slot Y so as not to overstrike section B..."
Warren, I also love the commercials when the rapid-fire list of possible side effects includes, "May result in death."
E.B, that never occurred to me. Around here, apostrophes seem to be used or omitted randomly. If they are very expensive to put in signs, that might explain things. Or thing's. And sign's. And apostrophe's.
Yes, Shari. I find the pedestrian car image to be a vivid one. As is the pet turtle enrolled in day care.
A long time ago our local library's calendar announced an "infant and child choking training session" to be provided by the Red Cross.
Do you remember if anyone signed up for the choking classes, Deborah?
