Sharon photographed both sides of this sign in Post Falls, ID. I wonder if Dave thought, "hey, while I'm making untrue claims in quotation marks, I might as well go big!"
I like how Sharon not only took a picture of the sign as she drove by it, but turned around in her seat for another angle while driving... Unnecessary QMs may be part of the plague, but let's not let the uninfected of us have death by photograph
I particularly love that Dave tells one story on one side and a different story on the other...are you the "northwest's largest" or the "world's largest," Dave? Are the drivers from, say, the southbound side more gullible than the northbound ones? Hm.
Kate, Dave isn't making a contradictory assertion. On one side, he's claiming to be the world's largest Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep dealer; on the other side he's claiming to be the Northwest's largest GMC dealer. Different products, different claims, and he also makes them on his web site, DaveSmith.com .
No connection to his dealership, I'm a site passer-by via the Salon write-up. JJS.
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.

You may put your mind at rest -- Sharon was the passenger. ;)
