What are some funny/annoying written phrases you've seen?
The following are either from menus or newspaper ads I've seen in person:

*Toss salad (not even gonna go there... :P)
*Ice tea (tea made of ice?)
*Devil crabs (Guess Satan's gotta have 'em too)
*Can goods (Can they what?)

3. "All clothing, half off"
Most big chains know better, but you see it now and then in smaller stores.

8. We're already familiar with this one:
Hugh Moran. :P

Other stuff I've seen: in a grocery store "Cheese Slicies", and back when Keebler sold Tato Skins, the rep wrote "Toto Skins" on the sign. :P
