Warnings

[rts]

Has anyone seen any amusing warnings? I only ask because I saw the following at a party tonight, and several people interpretated it in alternative ways...

I'm assuming you're drunk, for you to make such an appalling spelling mistake, Rod!

I can't remember where or when, but I once saw on the back of a filthy-looking van someone had written "If only my wife was this dirty" - I found that quite amusing for a few moments.

Unfortunately, the only comical things I read are the receipts from various shops - the moment I see what I've actually spent usually puts me in fits of mental laughter.

My friend worked in the local co-op, he handed me my receipt and he told me to read the bottom.

"WE'VE CUT OUR PRICES ON LOOSE BANANAS"

...apparantly, it's their best spelling item.

This is absolutely true I promise thee.

Me and a friend were moping around town as board little brats do (this was a few years ago), and stomachs started to rumble.

We went to a baguette shop round the corner...

"Closed for Lunch"

I liked the lorry for the manure company with "Same shit; different day" on the back of it.

Saw an advert in the Yellow pages a while ago for a skip/rubbish clearance company.

The text?

Ring <number> and let's talk rubbish.

Can't remember where I saw it but years ago I saw the line under a hairdresser's logo 'We curl up and Dye for you'

Made me laugh

Our local council drain cleaning contractors have just celebrated their 25th year of service by painting "25 Years Gone to Waste" on the tops of their cabs.
