MM> On a more serious note, there was a review recently in the NZ
 MM> Listener about a book on apostrophes which intrigued me.
 MM> Coincidentally, I read on fidonet this morning that...

 MM> "I've started reading a popular book on punctuation and the
 MM> abysmal state of its use, given to me by a friend of mine,
 MM> "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss.  Encouraged by her
 MM> book, people sent her examples of idiotic punctuation. One --
 MM> sent in by a Shakespearian actor -- was a sign that said,
 MM> "Children Drive Slowly".  The resulting brouhaha prompted the
 MM> town to revise the sign.

 MM> It now reads, "Children, Drive Slowly"."

 MM> Thank god none of this people have been here in NZ, where our
 MM> dyslectic traffic engineers paint on the road such stirring
 MM> messages as "WAY GIVE" and "CHILD THAT MIND" !

 MM> [Mmm ... might they be using Te Road Reo ?]

That reminds me... I've got a CD full of funny and hilarious signs that
were seen.
The one that really got me laughing hard was owned by a Mr Cock.
He ran a polishing service, and his van had "Cock Polishing" written
on its side.
