I too, have these odd little creatures stepping out. Funny how it sticks with you. My neighbor taught Summer Bible School and I looked in one day when dropping off my children. I can still see her standing there writing tomarrow....My first thought about the missing N was that they ran out of room, but that's just being nice right!

Sigh.<br /><br />I love pissass though. And have you noticed how many people are critical after accidents? I think I would be critical of driving ability/sight/something if someone backed into me.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-91623483667738913592012-01-16T19:14:13.413-08:002012-01-16T19:14:13.413-08:00I have been known to take out a pen and correct si...I have been known to take out a pen and correct signs when needed.<br />My local grocery store put up a sign advertising "kid's club." I tolerated it for weeks, then asked to speak with the manager. I carefully explained why the sign needed to be "kids' club," and by the next week, a new sign was up. But, within a month, the correct sign was replaced with one that says "kids club." Sigh.<br /><br />As for your lovelies here, I really liked the "piss ass" one. That just makes me smile.<br />And the polo shirts -- well, there's nothing wrong with telling everyone they're not stolen....<br />But those apostrophes.... ugh! I'm cringing.Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.com
