Misspelled Signs - A Good Sandwich Is Hard To Find

Could I have a cwambewwy samwich, pwease?

It's admittedly hard to discern, what with the yellow lettering on a pink background, but trust me that it reads "SANDWICHE." I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a plural and the terminal s was omitted, or if it's intended to be a singular, in which case there's an extra e. In either case, it's wrong. So there.

This one reminds me of an old riddle: Why can you never starve in the desert? Because of all the sand which is there! Har har! Get it?

The plural of "sandwich" is "sandwiches." Don't forget that all-important e.

	Ramiro Grocery, 198 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY It's the second instance of "sandwichs" ... but only the first for "candys" (should be "candies") and "grocerys" (should be "groceries"). You really must learn how to pluralize correctly, rather than just stick an s onto the end of a singular.

I guess we can be pretty sure that there is no sand in their sandwiches.
