Excuse me, what?

I confess...and not to loving ice cream, trash novels, or expensive shoes. No, far simpler and cheaper! I love menu misprints. Typos on signs. Mondegreens. And, my favorite, labeling by someone who does knows what she or he has heard, but not what it means.

I saw the following on a restaurant menu board: "pre-fixed dinner". Without knowing when it was fixed, I'm not sure I'd want to order that dinner.

And I saw this one this morning on ebay where I was looking for an armchair: "old liar back chair". Hmmm. Whose was it? And - who in Washington should have it now? The mind reels.

Your turn. Go ahead. Make me laugh.
