Allergen-free? Try again!
Saw this sign on a display in Whole Foods the other day:
Okaay… but what if you’re allergic to fish?
Watch where you point that thing!
This roller coaster ad was supposed to say, “Ready. Aim. Scream.” But when we got stuck waiting for a long turn signal, the view from the passenger’s seat suggested that the Silver Bullet gets some people a little more excited than that.
What it all Mean’s
Katie spotted this example of apostrophe abuse in an office parking lot.
The best service mean is…? Statistical analysis of dumpster service?
Is there any *ahem* meaning for which this would actually make sense?
Beware of Invisible Cows
Up at the visitor’s center for the Mauna Kea observatories, there’s a sign that says, “Beware of Invisible Cows.” It was dark when we were there, and I tried to get this picture without using the flash since there were people with portable telescopes ten feet away, so it’s really blurry:
Fortunately someone in charge recognized the humor value, and the visitor’s center sells bumper stickers:
Of course, it turns out other people, visiting during the day, have snapped better pictures of the sign.
Update 2025: They still sell stickers, magnets and T-shirts featuring the warning! The T-shirts are printed with the words, but not the cows, in glow-in-the-dark ink, so at night, the cows are in fact invisible. I’m tempted…
Note: Our visit to Mauna Kea was on Saturday, April 9, 2005.

Tempting Fate
License plate on an Eclipse:
I♥VODKA
In California, you can get symbols on a personalized Kids License Plate (fees are donated to child safety programs)—which makes this particular choice even stranger.
