Nearly two years ago, Jason and I were headed to Kim and Jayson’s to celebrate their wedding in Fort Worth, Texas when we were drawn off of I-40 in some town in Oklahoma by an almost magnetic force: a convenient store that also doubled as a full fledged casino was calling our names.

Sadly, despite the fact that the glitz and glamor of that glittery casino was overshadowed by something that caught my eye the moment I stepped out of the car. The sign at the pump read, “Smile your on surveillance camera.”

As always, I yelled out loud, “You have got to be kidding me!”

Granted, this sign doesn’t even make sense. But what really kills me is that the word “surveillance” was spelled correctly. Hey, even I have to use spell check at times, but don’t you think if somebody had taken the time to make sure that word was correct, they’d make sure the rest of the sign was right, too?

Sadly, my excitement for that little gas station/casino was completely destroyed by that one little typo. But hey, if you can get past it and happen to be driving through Oklahoma, I’d recommend stopping by. You can’t miss the place, plus nothing beats being able to play a little Roulette after filling up your tank. Both are a gamble these days anyway. And when it’s all said and done, I promise you won’t be as disappointed as I was.

P.S. A quick lesson on your vs. you’re: 

your |yôr; yoŏr|, possessive adjective

1 belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing : what is your name?

2 belonging to or associated with any person in general : the sight is enough to break your heart.• informal used to denote someone or something that is familiar or typical of its kind : I’m just your average Joe | she is one of your chatty types.
