There is one I see every day going to work on a plant/tree/shrub store.
It says "Live, artificial trees." (?) I keep saying I am going to take a
picture of that sign and send it in to Jay Leno.

I did send one item to Jay Leno but they never used it. It was an ad
from a website - for some type of herb to be used to treat diarrhea. I
believe the writer of the ad did not speak English as a first language,
because the wording was:

"To be used when mildly contaminated food is consumed with diarrhea."

Rest assured, if I ever consume diarrhea, I know what to take!

Hey Rob,

Those headlines are pretty good! I just remembered a sign that I see
every day going back and forth to work. It's at a gas
station/convenience
store out front. It reads in big letters "Now serving lunch and dinner"
and
then underneath, in smaller letters, "We have diesel!"
