I was reading posts on Freecycle. Somone had: Offer: empty wine bottles-Good for home wire bottling.:happy:

My all time favorite typo was a sign at Goodwill. There were some metal rollaway beds with a sign that read: Mental Beds. :laugh:

Have any to share?

    It isn't a typo, but a coworker asked me about the earthquakes in Italy.

    "How is the leaning pizza tower?"

    She was serious, and didn't realize why I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

    I saw a real estate for sale sign the other day that read "Price Redused"

    Yesterday I saw a hand written want ad posted in a store that said "Nany wanted'. I hope they are also hiring spelling tutors for their kids because the parents obviously won't be of any help.:laugh:

    I saw an ad on Craigslist that was selling little girls' clothes it said "Lots of Little girls olphets" I think they meant outfits.

    What I hate, is when I see typos in the newspaper! Isn't that was editors are for????

    So glad I had swallowed my tea when I read this or I think I would have snorted it all over my monitor!

    I used to live/work in San Francisco and they actually had the Tahoe website plastered on the Muni buses. I nearly crashed the first time I saw it :laugh:

    My freshman year in high school, there was an ad for yearbook sales, that said "Buy Your Yearbook"
    And then, below that "Before Their all Gone"
    So my friends and I went on a mission to fix all the signs, and replace "Their" with "They're"
    And then the yearbook teacher came up and reported us to the principal for "defacing school property."
    Well, the principal used to be an English teacher, and, needless to see, he agreed with us, and we got an early release to lunch the next day for being such good students.

    Don't mess with nerds. :glasses:
