When I was heading South from St. George, Utah, I saw a sign just South of St. George that said (I thought)
Preserve your wild life
Report a preacher today
That sounds logical enough. Even so, I took a closer look. This happened in a matter of seconds or less.......
The sign actually said:
Preserve your wild life
Report a poacher today
Dang. I was all ready. I don't know any poachers.

I love mis-reading signs. Or reading them more literally than they were meant to be read.

And I'll bet that you're an expert at reading them more literally. I enjoy when you put that kind of stuff here on the forums.

Nothing more fun than reading Tea Party signs:
Site doesn't link. It was the infamous "Keep your government hands off my Medicare" sign.

Last year I attended the Southlake TEA Party. It was fun, I suppose, in a sort of, “So this is how wealthy white people protest?” kind of way. Even the handful of counter-protesters were charming. Remember, it’s Southlake! One guy, dressed like a clown, held a sign that read, “Ignorance is underrated.” It was a fun-and-games type cheerful environment that balmy April morning. But, 2009 seems like so long ago now. The movement has evolved since then. In many ways I relate to the TEA Party’s critique of the fiscal excesses of the Federal government. I agree with the best American instincts that the movement represents – freedom, self-reliance, and limited government. So, it is with some sadness that I predict the TEA Party will self-destruct before the next presidential election. Liberals should leave them alone and watch.
