Looking for something to “Cool of With”? Look no further than McDonald’s!

“Well, here’s the deal. We’ve got four extra apostrophes and we need to use them somewhere.”

“But wouldn’t it make more sense to put apostrophes in all the words that end in S? Or none of them?”

“Yes. But unfortunately, we only have four extras, and they gotta go somewhere. Now get to work.”

First thought: They misspelled “resume”.

Second thought: The also misspelled “strips”.

Conclusion: The letter “e” migrated west for the winter.

(Spotted in the Daily Oklahoman.)

(Spotted online. And no, I’m not job hunting.)

Right now in America, homegrown tomato’s are being sold using homegrown sign’s containing homegrown apostrophe’s.

It’s hard to tell by the picture, but this sign was printed (not hand-written), which implies there are many more of them out there.

My good friends Andy and Lea caught these seasons greetings from the Yukon Pizza Hut over the weekend.

Free with each pizza – an extra “L”!

I knew McDonald’s wouldn’t fail me. Just 24 hours later …

For those who don’t know (like whoever put this sign up), it’s a McRib — not a MacRib. They got it right on the other side of the sign, so customers are welcome to choose the spelling of their choosing.

This’ll teach me never to leave the house without my camera again! Yesterday morning while going through the McDonald’s drive thru, Susan and I noticed a new sign hanging next to the drive-thru speaker announcing the arrival of a new burger: the McDoble. They managed to misspell the word double four times in only seven lines — a new record! Unfortunately all I had with me was my cell phone, and despite what you may see on television cop shows, blowing up a tiny picture into a larger one simply leaves a pixilated mess:

Since there’s no way you can read the sign in the picture, here is what is says:

“Starting on Dec. 1 our Doble Cheeseburger will cost 1.19. But we’re glad to introduce our new item to the dollar menu: it is called MC Doble, it is the same as a doble cheeseburger, and the only difference is that it only has one piece of cheese. So say welcome to our new MC Doble.”

By the way, the bolding is theirs. They really wanted to emphasize their typo.

I kicked myself all day for not having my normal camera at my side. This morning when we went back through McDonald’s, we discovered that someone had corrected the sign, not by printing a new one, but with white-out and a pen.

Goodbye, MC Doble — we barely knew ye.

Smile, you’re on my blog for having multiple signs made with such a simple mistake.
