ROTFLMB[utt]O...

"mildly contaminated food," is that a side dish, or is that one of the main
ingredients in diarrhea???

Love those bad "righting" examples <vbgrin>, keep 'em up!

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!
