Must be a deadNd street :-)

I started taking photos of inverted and flipped letters a few years ago, but gave up when I realised just how often this happens.

One of the Xs is upside down.

Ole, there's an oriental restaurant in Glendale called "My Dung".
And it recently closed because of a rat problem. No joke.

In Blackpool i saw a Chinese restaurant called 'Junk'. It was closed.
Ahhh, Blackpool.

Where I live, we have a candy called 'Spunk'.
It's liqourice in case you're wondering, but then again, we use English names for all our Oriental restaurants...

I've been driving past the sign at the top of this thread for over four years now, and they _just_ changed it:

I always felt that Tennis was a better sport than SQUASH :-)

There was a maltt shop just of I-94 in St. Paul with a sign-board with movable letters. For the longest time it read:

"Children Eat Free Balloons On Tuesday!"

Such a deal!

Not in print, but Kristin's sign reminds me of the radio ad from my hometown that ran when I was a kid: (about sandwiches)

"If they're too big for the kids, ask us to cut them in half."
