I’m not going to ask whether it’s “hot enough for you,” the standard query in NYC during August. In deference to the fact that everyone’s brains are fried, I’ll just post a few signs and ask a simple question about each. Feel free to answer.
On a sidewalk near Second Avenue:
Question: Do they think pedestrians will hurdle over the orange-and-white bars without this reminder?
In a shop on the West Side:
Does the flu vaccine advertised in the small circle to the left of the larger sign complement the lipstick or the powder?
From The New York Times:
Is “wildly unparalleled” a zig-zag or a right angle?
Finally, from a mini-golf course in Seattle:
Does this mean you should ignore the hand rails that are NOT provided?
Prize for the best answers is, well, nothing. But try anyway!
1. Apparently!
2. Should be “complimentary” (as in “free”)
3. LOL!
4. Face palm! (If ever there were three words more unnecessary, I don’t know them!)
Face palm! Love the expression, which is new to me. Thanks, Ellie!
1. Apparently!
2. Should be “complimentary” (as in “free”)
3. LOL!
4. Facepalm! (If ever there were three words more unnecessary, I don’t know them!)
Number 2 should definitely be “complimentary,” but it’s so much fun to imagine that they really intended “complementary”: “That flu shot goes really well with . . . “
