One evening I was in a supermaket café, reading the big menu (the 'signboard' in this story) behind the serving staff. I made my choice, and when it came to my order, I said, "I'll have the all-day breakfast, please."
The response came, without the slightest trace of irony, "I'm sorry, we don't serve it after six o'clock."

Everytime when i travel and come across a funny signboard,i’ll wonder what were the people that created the signboard actually thinking?!?
Here's an advert placed in the window of our local newsagent:
"Mature reliable female requires a few hours' cleaning a month."
Who could doubt it?
Also seen outside a local fruiterer's shop:
"Have you tried our Clementine's?"
The apostrophe makes all the difference...
This is a true story.

Found on the Web; sign outside a Baptist church:
"Ask us about our vow of silence."
You can't make this stuff up...
