Signs in Shop Windows 1

[RCorrigan]

I wish I had had my camera on me last night - handwritten sign in a shop window

OK to set the scene ...... sign is luminous yellow, approx 2ft x 2 1/2ft. Writing is in black marker (I'll omit the squiggly bits around the edges and just do the bit in the middle) anything in bold is approx 5 or 6 inches tall the rest is less than an inch .........

EVERYTHING €20 OR LESS

(the first line might be off , but it was line two that drew my eye !!!!!!

<Do I need A Signature or will an X do?>

I guess the usual comment about amateurs is redundant here.

good marketing though
It caught your eye and you have passed it on for them

Sign in an Optician's window:
"If you can't see what you're looking for,
you've come to the right place.

Not a sign in a shop window, but we had quite a commotion at the office with a hand-written sign left on the copy machine. It seems that someone loaded a stack of originals in the document feeder without realising that they had left their ink-pen shuffled in the middle of the originals. When the automatic document feeder reached the page with the pen, it badly jammed the feeder and caused the entire photocopier to require highly technical help from the copier repair person. To ensure that no one used the machine until the repair person fixed it, the perpetrator left this hand-written, and badly spaced sign on the copier:

[b]Do Not Use
PenIs Jammed
In Feeder[/b]

We hoped the repair person did not pass out from shock.

If you hadn't said that it actually happened at your office I wouldn't have believed it!

It wasn't exactly a shop window, but this thread will do for a place to post this.

I saw a billboard recently that said

1 in 10 wins up to $15,000!

I think that's hilarious... and so misleading as to be criminal. You can't just take two different ideas and combine them.

1 in 10 wins
+ win up to $15,000
= 1 in 10 wins up to $15,000?

Well, if "up to $15,000" includes every dollar amount below it (for example, zero dollars), then it is also true that

• 10 in 10 win up to $15,000
• 1 in 10 million wins up to $15,000
• 1,289,347 in 10 win up to $15,000 (lots of people who don't even PLAY win zero dollars!)

On another note, is it "win" or "wins" in each case?

About that pesky pen - I read about that on the net years ago. I smell an urban legend. Funny one, though.
