Here's Your Sign - Idaho Double-Facepalm Edition

I've had a frustrating 7 days.  I did a marathon-run with my boss, covering 1,700 miles in 4 days.  After that, I crashed and somehow got pinkeye.

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:

...tronman?

and this

Ultamate!

and 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??
