Off A Bit, Road Ahead
Here are two signs I passed on the way home from work, and they're each off a bit. Anne drinks mostly unsweetened iced tea and has shown me that almost every restaurant and fast food place has a little pot of iced tea somewhere off to the side of the fountain drinks. But there would be no iced tea for her today because this pot was "OUT OFF ORDER", which is a non-functional combination of "Out of Order" and "we turned it off until we can fix it." A few blocks later there was this winner at a congested intersection: "ROAD AHEAD". Okay, if you have a "ROAD CLOSED AHEAD" sign and you open the road temporarily, why not just take down the sign until you need it again? As it is, I don't know if it was trying to tell me the road was closed, or it isn't, or they had just stashed the sign where they thought nobody can see it. It sure doesn't look like a road.
