Do This, Don’t Do That, Can’t You Read The Sign?
This one contains exactly what it says on the tin…er…make that the can. Or perhaps the bottle. Could be the frosty mug, too. Those sometimes have things printed on them. Drunk driver arrested after crashing into ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ sign A North Port man was arrested for DUI Sunday after crashing his …

Anybody Know A Good Lawyer?
A billboard worker wound up in the hospital Tuesday morning when he tumbled off a rooftop sign in Brooklyn that happened to be touting the famed personal injury law firm Cellino & Barnes, family and officials said. David Fricker, 49, was working on the billboard around 10:28 a.m. near the corner of Church and Flatbush …
Call Before You…Never Mind
We don’t use our irony tag all that much, but this seems like a good reason to give it some love.
