Chelsea saw this at the Cabbage Patch hospital. I suppose, technically, these quotation marks ARE denoting euphemism. Just a really dumb one. I'm also uncertain why 'kids needs an apostrophe.
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 think the apostrophe denotes the omission of "cabbage patch", which would make it correct (although backwards).
the quotes in the box are just plain silly. i guess they could put "adoption fees" in quotes if they wanted to call attention to their cleverness.
clevertude?

As an adoptive mother, I truly dislike Cabbage Patch doll "adoption fees." But that's just me...
I agree with both above posters.
A Cabbage Patch Kid wrote the sign...
Shouldn't "kids" be in quotes? Wouldn't that make more sense than whatever it was that was in quotes?
