I love this one... especially since my husband grew up in George, Washington. Yes, that is an actual place - consisting of a truck stop, post office, several farms and Martha's Inn.
Fantastic! That was one of my favourite tricks, back when the loonie was worth .60 - get a roll of quarters in Canada and use them in the washing machines in my US college dorm. They didn't jam, and I made FOUR BUCKS over the semester!!!
Not only are Canadian quarters actually Canadian, not 'Canadian', but Canadian circulation coins are actually made in Winnipeg. I took a tour of the Mint.
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.

This is really funny. Especially since we don't know who George is, because it's not the one on the quarter ("Washington" is spelled wrong).
lol, that is funny!
Anna :)
"Eh?"

Even actual "Canadians" look and feel like the US version, so you have to examine them very closely. And listen to their Os.
Too funny, April.

I love "Let George do it." Classic.
I had no idea there were "persons" who washed ascots. And I have such a backlog of dirty ascots.
