By Monday, I needed to go to urgent care, and I was in a foul mood.
I needed to smile. I needed to be amused.
And Idaho Falls delivered, in a frustratingly delightful way.
Driving to urgent care, I noticed the readerboard of a local church:
First of all, I love the jab toward Catholics. Good job, baptists. HOWEVER, your poke at their confessional structure fell on deaf ears because you idiots don't know how to spell 'bragging.'
Well done.
I go to urgent care, get checked out, and get my prescription. Since I never get sick, I don't have a pharmacy in town yet (2 years without meds! WOO!). Smith's grocery store is the closest place to me, so I tell them to send it there.
I get to Smith's and they tell me to wait about 20 minutes. I wander, since I can't sit still. I notice this sign, selling Colgate Toothpaste:
Cologate? Is that the toothpaste Dolemite uses?
I chuckled, took a picture, and kept walking... when I spotted this:

Listene is actually a Norwegian rock band... |
This was getting ridiculous. And fun. Smith's provided me with twenty minutes of 'find the glaring typos' entertainment!
Band-Aids is a brand, Kroger. You know you can get sued for this, right??
The sign says red, and you save $10.11... but the chopper is grey...
THIS sign says grey, and you only save 11 cents... and the chopper is red....

You have GOT to be kidding me... |
But wait, there's more. Time for the pain-reliever aisle!!

Omeprazole is hard to spell, but the box is right there. Same thing with Ibuprofen...
...pain reliefer??
Two floor-stands, side by side... selling the same box of Ibuprofen...

That makes three different INCORRECT spellings of Ibuprofen in one store.
...is it too late to add Xanax to my prescriptions??
