Broken: Omelette sign
Norm Tatlock points out a sign at an eatery in the lobby of the Empire State Building:
All our eggs are made with 3 omelettes
Norm points out, "If it's not made with 4 omelettes, then you can't call it an egg!"
obviously the person who put this sign up did not have thier cup of sugar with two teaspoons of coffee.
I'd say something about the sign writer being a few omelettes short of an egg, but that'd just be cruel. :-p
Q: Divide 13 sugar cubes into 2 cups of coffee so that there are an odd number of cubes in each.
A: That's easy. 12 and 1.
Q: But twelve isn't odd!
A: It's an odd number of cubes to put in a cup of coffee...
How are you meatlovers.
All your bacon are belong to us.
You are on the path to starvation.
What you eat!
You have no chance to finish breakfast make your eggs.
Ha ha ha ha ha...
Fuzzy,
What was that all about?
By the way, what's up with the Happy Hannukah sign up in March.
Maybe this guy is a few dollars short of a penny needed to pay the workers how take it down.
Administrator: "By the way, what's up with the Happy Hannukah sign up in March."
If you look at Mark's page about submitting, he says it may be two or so months before your submission may be used. I would say Mark has been busy, and the photographer may have also waited a month or two, or a few years.
for those of you who have no idea what the whole 'all your base...' thing is about...i suggest you click this link and watch this short flash movie. its quite a laugh.

(hint: this is the introduction to an old sega genesis video game. and yes, that is really what they wanted it to say.)
Carl, it's actually an old Amiga game, IIRC, and no, it's not what they meant, it's an awful translation as happened more often in the early days of PC gaming.
i played it as a genesis game...it was called zero wing....and yea thats not what they 'meant'.
i was trying to say that the words on the video were from the game and not photoshopped on there afterwords.
Arisa... you do realize that they get a hell of a lot more attention now that they write it this way... right?
let's not fall for the store's clever ploy; we saw the sign online, why go to that eatery to see it? We must protest broken signs!

I was in the sign business for many years and that is a classic. It is really easy to fix, but worth leaving just to catch the eye of passersby.
anyone notice that thats the empire state building thats in? u cant pick a much more popular torist atraction to fuck up in

Well look at the bright side, they didn't spell it "omlette's."
