For The Fife-inator....

I saw this and thought about you, Rob. (The exact same error was made in Kalamazoo. )

Fife-able moment



Well?? What're you gonna do about it?

I love that!

There used to be a sign here in town that said LEFT TURN ONLEY.

I just saw that on facebook and was going to post it, LOL! That is SO hilarious!! I didn't know it was an error in Kalamazoo though too! Scary!

You should work in public relations.

I shouldn't admit this but the first time I saw the picture, I didn't see what the deal was. DUH!!

Here's yet another school related typo. I think they need the kids to do the spell-check.

OH my! Yes, that would send Fife in circles! That is a good one. Such BOLD letters!

For whatever reason the story about that sign made it on our local news today, even though the picture was from Southbend, IN. At least it wasn't a doom and gloom story and it was something funny. I thought Fife would get a kick out of it.

I just wonder if people are that incompetent or they see the finished result but are too lazy to fix it?

Those are just amazing. How do people miss mistakes like that? Especially when they are written so big!!

I wish I could remember what was on the sign of this store when I was a kid. Actually, I was in the 7th grade. I would take a bus to school everyday. The driver went into this one neighborhood where there was this small corner store. And there was a word on there that used to drive me crazy - especially because it was painted ON the building - that was misspelled. I haven't thought about this in years. Now I just may have to drive past there and see if the store is still there to see if the word is still on the building. I really want to remember what it was now. And you know it had to be bad if it drove a 13 year-old crazy!


At one time I worked with a woman (my boss) who misspelled almost everything. She would write these notes to us about things we maybe needed to do over the weekend. And the word she misspelled the most was "onesie" - the baby clothing. She would spell it O-N-S-I-E. It was an "ONsie". I never could figure out how she didn't know that was wrong. Sure, it really isn't a word (at least not according to Webster's), but you would think she would at least try to spell it the way it sounds. She did that so much of the time with words.

I guess this problem is too widespread. Fife does what he can, but he can't be everywhere. I think we need Fife-inator training so people all over the wolrd won't have to be driven crazy with these horrid misspellings right there in their face everyday.

Maybe we can start right here in our own backyard.

I had to look at that more than once before realising the mistake, Pam!!!

Must be old age!

Oh oh Pam, you poor dear!!

Rob, you are so funny.

I am so sorry to be contributing to the problem. I swore I checked that for spelling errors.

Me too Maureen....don't feel too bad! I've always been a little slow though!


LOVE that Pam!! Hopefully the fifing was worth the joy you've brought us with this little ditty.

Pam! That couldn't have been more perfect!

I will convince myself that Pam's post was deliberate; she was going along with the theme of the thread!

Exactly. Yes. I meant to do that.

Sew am I! Thees are "funny"
