Get It?? Unit Price?!?!

Field correspondent Stroker got this from his friend Kent.  Click the picture for enbiggened goodness.

Boy howdy, back-to-school supplies have changed since I went. I don't recall ever having this particular item on the list the school sent out. My favorite part of this sign is that it points out with 2 free, it only costs 89.2¢ per session. Now that's a bargain.

Ancillary Service

Field correspondent Frankie got some doughnuts one morning and this was the bag they were in.  Let's take a closer look at that text, shall we?

"As an additional service"?  Really?  How is reusing a bag an additional service?  That's a little like selling a pet rock that, as an additional service, can be used for self defense if thrown accurately.  I also enjoy the fact that the phrase "soak through" is in quotations.  This is bag citing another bag?

Living Toilet

I recently found this picture that I took a couple years ago on a trip to Florida (click the picture to enbiggen).  I understand the gist of the sign: they are conserving water by using recycled water for the toilets, but the drinking water is fresh.  It's a great idea and is well implemented.  The issue I have with this is the phrase "Living Machine toilets."  For some reason that just gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Approximately Exact

This is a postcard that provides the school bus schedule and assignment for the child of a friend (sorry for all the redactions, but you understand).  Click to enbiggen and pay attention to the times.  Now let's look at the reverse side of that card.

How about that disclaimer in all caps: "THESE TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE".  I'm not certain about you, dear reader, but I would call 7:01 pretty darn precise.

Odd Recipe

I was having lunch with Frankie the other day when I was handed this menu.  Let's have a look-see here.  It was a sports bar so the names are a bit odd, but nothing really of note.  Hmmmm, what could have gotten this on What The Foto?  Ahhhh, there is it:  the second ingredient of the Rocky.  I'm pretty sure that is not how a Philly Cheesesteak is made.

Expenses Of Scale

This is another picture I took at my place of employment.  Click the image to enbiggen.  Let's do the math here; a small (8 ounce) cup is 10¢, making it cost 1.25¢ an ounce while a large (16 ounce) cup is 25¢, making it 1.5625¢ per ounce. I'm not sure why there is a premium on the greater quantity of coffee.  An eternally optimistic person might hypothesize that it is to encourage employees to make more trips for the health benefit of the additional walking.  The realist in me knows better.  And to top it off, no one I pointed it out to even realized that anything was odd about it.

What Are The Chances?

Go ahead and click on the picture to enbiggen.  I'll wait, I promise.  So, did you see it? The mind boggling coincidence?  The fact that two identical Corvettes (except for color) would be in the same parking lot at the same time, both forget their handicap parking tags, and be terrible at parking.  I blurred out the license plates to limit my liability, but they weren't disabled plates either.  Just in case you were going to argue that one.

But Not From Addiction...

Let me first say that I'm not against smokeless tobacco.  I think it's disgusting, but everyone is free to kill themselves however they choose.  That said, the warning on this sign really takes the wind out of the sentiment of the ad. 

Additional Room Service

During a recent hotel stay, as I was entering my room,  I was afforded this view.  I truly have no idea what that symbol is supposed to represent.  Some special lighting? A device for opening beverages?  Extreme ear piercing?  No other room has that icon by the number and I found nothing inside the room that could possibly have been represented by it.  Believe me, I looked.  So apparently I had access to some special good or service that I failed to take advantage.  Maybe I should ask the hotel for reimbursement...

Proctolo-tree

Sorry about the hiatus. My schedule has been pretty hectic as of late. Anywho, this pic was given to me by W of A&W.

You, dear reader, are definitely going to want to click on that picture for enbiggened goodness.  Serious?  Who thinks that is a good way to display anything let alone stuffed animals? I wonder how one would respond to the question "Mommy, why are those animals stuck to that pole by their bottoms?" And of course there has to be an outlier: apparently the top blue bear has had a tracheotomy.
