There's nothing like an oddly phrased headline to brighten your day. How about "Actor Sent to Jail for Not Finishing Sentence"? Or "Queen Mary Having Bottom Scraped"? Same for signs that make you do a double take, like "Senior Citizens! Buy One, Get One Free." A San Diego caller shares a couple of her favorite oddly worded signs, and the hosts mention a few of their own. By the way, for more strangely worded signs, check out The Bad Sign Brigade on Flickr. For amusing headlines and unfortunate journalistic locutions, we recommend the "Sic!" section of Michael Quinion's newsletter, available from his site, World Wide Words. This is part of a complete episode.
