Dry cleaner around the corner has a .99 cent special on shrits.

Just got back from a hotel that serves a compulsory breakfast at 8:00 AM.

Bet that one had the orange juice shooting out of your nose. That would have cracked me up.

How do they enforce that one? " You vill eat your breakfast. Ve have ways of making you consume that danish.'

In the window of a children's store: "Huge Baby Sale".

Wonder how huge the baby is, and whether they charge by the pound.

Thankfully, a goon squad didn't show up at 8:15 to take me down for vittles. I did get a chuckle when I saw the card on the door informing about the breakfast.

Wished I'd taken a snapshot of it. I also wished I'd taken picture of the sign outside of the little subdivision with the quaint sounding name of Morningwood.

I realize most would think it's fine, but I'd hope otherwise.
I also cannot stand this verb. Many years ago I saw a magazine ad for Nintento that stated, "When Losing Sucks." I was completely appalled and offended (my kids were little then). Sadly, it's become so common that I'm no longer surprised to hear or read it.

Oh, I needed that laugh. LOL! Awesome!

Copy that. Back in the "day" that was considered a swear word, I'd use it in the dorm, but not at home. It's so commonplace these days, hard to believe. It sucks.

In a car repair forum, I read the following statement:

I've Benn told it is the window regulator.

In my opinion, this isn't a typo.
If it was merely a typo, the word in question would probably have been typed as, "been".
The poster's apparent need to capitalize the word (as well as its misspelling ) seems to indicate a lot of confusion regarding the word, "been".
