Victory for English majors everywhere! I must remember to share this with Heather.
I know I was surprised.
Nice to see you, Mike!
I’m sure the folks around us thought I was touched in the head for taking a photo, but it was too important to let slip by. Thanks, Mo, for noticing it.
No more touched in the head than I was for taking a photo of a “wine testing” sign at a local liquor store. Good catch! Thanks for sharing.
Of course, rare instances like this are greatly overweighed by signs advertising items for sale for only “.99 cents.”
Haha. Very true, Susan and EQ.
I thought of this piece when I was in the liquor store today. A sign advised me that there were more fine wines in the centre isle. As much as I love my wine, I ain’t taking no boat to get some.
HA! Do they at least provide a paddle?
