Oh, I know. Apostrophes are hard. Especially when you’re really under pressure from your boss to make sure that fish looks great in Day-Glo. Sure, I laughed off the fact that you carefully painted two apostrophes into the ginormous Lent ad for Big Fish Fridays. But then you had to go and paint the first apostrophe upside-down, and that just doesn’t make sense. (And just one last thing: it’s generally ’til or till. Not til. Boo.)

I am quite speechless. I could make so many jokes. Instead, I think I’ll just sigh and remember why I dreaded having to go to Havelock when I lived in North Carolina. If it wasn’t for friends like Shannon, Katie and Stacy who actually lived there, and the fact that I was able to buy super cheap surfer chick clothing at Cherry Point — and OK, having to pass through Havelock to get to the beach, too — I think I’d avoid it like a sale of plagues (please see February 26th post). Thanks, Shannon, for keeping your eyes peeled so we can laugh together!

I love my friends who are joining in on this little sicworld project. This one came my way from Mason, who lives in Las Vegas (hence the title of this blog), which I’m sure is where he stumbled across this little beauty. Is it just me, or does this license plate holder look like it was carefully crafted on one of those little handheld labelers? I get that you’re trying to be cute, dear California driver, but in the end, you just sort of look like a moron.

Parents, just a word of warning: you might want to carefully train your children when it comes to spelling or else you might start getting some odd stares during parent/teacher conference time thanks to assignments like this. However, I have to give credit to this child. The flow of this story is made so much more phenomenal because of his innocent, yet hilarious mistake.
