That's the Breaks

Happy New Year, everyone! Leah spotted this apostrophe catastrophe/spelling error at a body shop in Evanston, Illinois:


The Break Inn could be a lovely name for a B&B.

Thanks, Leah!

    For some crazy reason, when I saw this sign, I got "There's a break-inn on the rise" going through my head (to the tune of that silly Creedence Clearwater Revival song, of course). Clearly I need to consume less sugar during the work day.

    So funny that you said that because as soon as I posed the title, I thought, "Maybe I should have gone with a Credence reference intstead.

    Let's give humanity the benefit of the doubt: perhaps the body shop owner also owns a car maintenance-themed hotel that is doing well these days.

    This is so bad, and no CCR reference can make it any better. Sorry.

    What if "Break" was spelled "Brake"?
