I love me some misused quotation marks (click to enbiggen). This sign shows a classic mistake: trying to use quotes for emphasis. Unless that sign is quoting another sign or trying to be ironic, those quotes are unnecessary. When read as written, it implies that if you manage to steal one shirt, they will reward you with a second one free. That's a hell of a deal, in my opinion. By the way, the face of the person making air quotes has been redacted to protect his/her identity, but most of you know who that is.

I think that girl is smokin' hot.
