It's hard out here for a do-gooder, yo.
It's especially hard for the do-gooder pimps....
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I spent 9 weeks wondering what was sold at a place with a large sign on the roof reading "SPAS." Seriously.
Now, granted it was after 6 months living in a place where a good portion of the time, assuming I would have no idea what a sign referred to even if I could sound it out was perfectly reasonable. I guess I defaulted to that mode.
I did feel ever so stupid and then betrayed by my brain the day it clicked and I realized I did too know the word spas.

I still think the publisher should change the font, but since the publisher won't change the font -- what Jesse said.

My favorite big ad sign is the giant one on a landscaper's place: SOD
Knowing British slang, it makes me snicker every time. I always wonder what British tourists think.

Fire drill. The first announcement from the FD representative was that "we have taken over your enuncerator system."
After that they explained the clever code by which you tell if it's a real emergency (the announcerator will say "This is the Chicago Fire Department") as opposed to some wrong-doer who is maybe trying to get to a certain individual and fake-evacuating an 80-story building was the plan they came up with (enuncerator will simply say "This is an emergency/fire/plague of locusts. Please evacuate the building") That enuncement we are to ignore.
