So if I got a soda, in a water glass, and get busted for not paying for the soda - am I allowed to say "Sure it's water. And use finger quotes? Will I be able to get away with it?
Well, well! I've seen this sign quite a few times, just never bothered to take a picture of it. I can't remember exactly where this was, but I think it's at Sandwich Story in Pasadena, California. (A shame, too, because the food's great. That said, I think there are more unnecessary quotes on the menu...)
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.

Is it possible their water is so bad that they need the quotation marks to get around the FDA?
Isn't the sign there precisely because people where using the cups for "water" consumption?

LOL, Beau. I would love to try it!
