It's only four words

To get so many words wrong in such a small sign takes real work - or a
command of Engrish.

So what time do they close?

I bet they are softer than pillows

Now it's clear

I'm glad it will be stooping until future notice.

Canada?

No - this sign is in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn in Valencia. I think icy is not possible.

Not your father's seminary

I recently met a GTY board member for lunch in Dallas. The easiest place for us to meet was the cafe at DTS. The food was Texas-iszed and good.

They have special parking for their female students; not the best end of town. I understand they are starting to offer MDivs as well as the mission degree that they were offering.

Next? Who knows.

Really?

Grounded? Are you sure? This image does not match the message. Maybe I'm missing something, but this person seems to be ungrounded.

Another reason to go to Fry's

If you love great service, understandable policies, and friendly staff: shop anywhere buy Fry's. If you want non-existent service, incomprehensible policies, and a hostile-misanthropic-surly staff: then get yourself down to Fry's. Plus you'll be able to read their wonderful potty policy in person. I'm not sure if this is company-wide, or only at the Burbank store, but it reflects well how the company thinks of its customers.

Thanks to Jay Morrissette for sending me this photo.

Quick I'm running late where is your MUFIDS?

When I took the picture I was not sure what a MUFIDS was or why one would need upgrading.

The signs were all over the airport as if they expected everyone to know what it is and would appreciate that it was being upgraded.

After checking with several people, including a man whose kiosk was in front of one the signs, I asked someone at the gate. They said that FIDS is airline speak for Flight Information (Identification) Display. I guess that the Mu must be for Mutual, since the airlines frequently share them.

So the next time you are in the airport and need to know what gate and time info, walk up to the counter and ask, "where is the MUFIDS?" They will point you in the right direction, and tell you to get a life, air-geek.

I usually can figure out the symbols. I'm not sure what I am to do, or not do. I think that second part contradicts the first. Though I'm not at all sure of that either.

You have one job

I thought for sure that Black Angus would have one person whose only job was to make sure that the 'G' was working - if it's not then they turn off the sign. At the Black Angus at Topanga that person must be sick (as is their sign).

Make sure your glob is linked

I do not know what glob they want to link, perhaps they intended 'globe'. Then again there are lots of globs on our globe and they may need linking. This company is not US-based - shock!

Not what I was hoping for

I saw many robots at the show, and many of them needed cleaning. This is not a company that offers a way to clean robots, but is a robotic floor cleaner.

Perhaps next year.

Your other right

I spotted this sign while getting on the freeway. Am I missing something?

Let me be the first ...

Let me be the first to wish you 'Ppy Holiday'. We've eaten here twice since they painted the sign. I think thay didn't want to cover the neon - I would have done something different.

Warning an 'S' is coming

Mister Language Person (Dave Berry) says: The apostrophie is frequently used in signs to alert the reader that an 'S' is coming.

This has not been a good week for signs. Or would that be sign's?

Whaaaaat?

Closed for business? What are they open for? We found the owner inside, and he explained that they did not want to say 'out of business', but wanted people to know they were coming back. I suggested 'Closed for Renovation' or something similar. I don't think they're coming back.

So Polite

I have not been any other place where there might even be an option of not paying first. As expected they did not recognize me, so I had to pay first. Grandpa at the next pump - he was known, so he did not pay first.

They should have paid more for a motto

The bottom line reads, "Where Your #2 is Our #1 Concern!"

I'm sure the staff love having that on their shirts.

No longer shameful @ Target

I think thay are aware of all the connotations and that makes it worse. This used to be something shameful, but now you can buy clothing to assert a sinful/shameful trait.

Next from Target: Hookerware.
