Literasy 'Ain't Everything

My cousin sent this in with the caption: "doesn't speak well for small-town public education". I couldn't resist posting it. Too funny.

Sorry to scare the baby! The buzzing noise is embedded in the Bee Carnival post. Once I post a few times, it will go away. It isn't on my front page. I don't like it when someone has music all the time (unless it is something that you can click on and play when you want to - not automatically). I don't like surprises on my speakers, either! I figured that little bee noise was mild enough that it wouldn't freak too many people out.

Glad you stopped by today to see the photo. Thanks again for it! I still chuckle when I look at it.

No possiblity it's a clever play on words? Maybe not with the 'professional' style signage! I actually kind of like it -- a Get the Clothes Out Sale!

I worked in a small town factory that had plenty of "cation" signs.

Oh my! LOL Though living in a small town that values the football team over the academics I can say I've seen some signs like that more than a few times.

Dreama - Yes mam. Texas it is. Even the Lone Star State has its skeletons in the closet.

Gem - I thought of that. But then... I'm not sure such a teeny-tiny town storefront would have a silly sale like that.

BigWhiteHat - That is funny. There was also a sign on Highway 36 at one time that said (and I'm not kidding) "If you hit this, you'll hit the bridge". I cracked up every time I drove under it. I think they have since removed it. Maybe some city-slicker complained about the less-than-professional grammar.

Summer - Football. Don't get me started! ;)
