Post a CommentI once found an ad in our local newspaper that meant to mention the local truck warehouse. Unfortunately, an error crept in, and it said the local truck whorehouse.
I especially laughed at, "If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last a While." All of them are funny, though.
Nice compilation, especially that last one.
So good and so true! Great catches. Hilarious.
