Maybe They Closed

If this car care shop went out of business, this sign is correct. If not, we've got an apostrophe catastrophe on our hands.


Thanks to Linda for sending this one in!

    I can't stop laughing at this...
    Which is worse - That it was made or that someone put it up?

    Even if it were closed, it would still be a catastrophe, since the subject-verb agreement would be all wrong.

    You're right, Putu. I was thinking it would be "We were closed" with the "we" being implied, but "Mission Auto Care were closed" has subject-verb problems. Thanks for pointing that out!

    They were open, but now they're closed.
