At the same fair where I spotted the second picture, (Tunbridge World's Fair in Tunbridge, Vermont...which is small enough to be ironically re-titled Tunbridge "World's" Fair...) I saw this sign. Improper use of "your" is second only to improper use of the mighty quotation mark, in my book.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I'm sorry, but sweet and salty are NOT colloquialisms or slang when it comes to popcorn (unless they're trying to use a little innuendo or something)
I mean, what are these people THINKING when they get this stuff professionally made?!
Apparently the submitter has never read a Zagat review.
Yes, I have.

What a wonderful example of random capitalization as well as of the misuse of quotation marks.
