I think the best part about a mistake is when the person makes it repeatedly so you know that they really meant it when they were wrong. "Paul Signs" appears in no less than five places on this truck. I bet your first thought upon seeing this wonder on wheels was that Paul wanted the world to know about his mad sign language skills. That was my first guess. But no, because he also specializes in awnings. Since 1984! Do you think he's been driving this truck around NYC for 25 years and no one bothered to tell him? Is he the one responsible for all of the misspelled signs around the city? In the interest of good business, if one is a maker of signs, shouldn't their own signs be correct?
Disclaimer: I'm willing to accept that this might be okay, but Becky and I decided prior to posting that it was still funny, mostly because without the apostrophe, it's a complete sentence. If you're not willing to accept that this is a misfit apostrophe, do not fear, we have many more pictures in the pipeline.
This is hysterical. (Pathetic, but hysterical.)
ReplyDeleteWait--what if Paul is his last name? As in Les Paul. His sign company would be called "Les Paul Signs," which would be correct. (A la the company Johnson Controls...) Someone (not me) may have to call the number on the truck and see how they answer the phone at the office.
ReplyDeleteWe thought of that. Then we decided it was still funny. We could give them the benefit of the doubt.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the purported apostrophe misuse?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's supposed to be "Paul Sings," and they transposed the letters. =) If not, I imagine Paul sitting in the front seat of the truck doing sign language. Or signing autographs.
