I suspect these old chestnuts have been making the rounds since the days of mimeographs, but I just saw them on a church friend's Facebook page.
Oh--I've been meaning to ask:
Do you remember the odor of mimeograph ink (that purple stuff)?
How did you feel about the odor? Like, or dislike?
(Orange Crate Art and I differ on this matter, and I'm curious what other people think.)
Anyway, I enjoyed these errors in public writing (if they aren't real, they could be), so I'm sharing them here.

There should be a repository somewhere (Library of Congress?) for these things, along with the hilarious sentences allegedly written by schoolchildren and the rules for employees about bathroom use. The last one I saw once in a gas station, probably a seventeenth-generation xeroxed copy.
ReplyDeleteThey're adorable!
ReplyDeleteReal-life bad writing is usually not so amusing.
