I wasn't sure how to upload multiple photos at once, so I entered into the contest multiple times.

Last August I went traveling around Great Britain with my cousin, and this sign was apart from the others I uploaded. This was from Liverpool and I think was referring to a striped ("zebra") bump ("humped) in the road.

Last August I went traveling around Great Britain with my cousin, and these signs were found together on display in Edinburgh.

I'm not sure all these photos fall under the category of poor grammar, but hopefully you'll get a kick out of them anyway.

This is my brother, Jon, in front of a sign outside of a restaurant in Scranton PA. The sign, with a few extra dots inthe web address, is an advertisement for the Brazilian restaurant.

This photo, taken mid-April 2010, shows the entrance to the new, underground pick-up/drop-off driveway in front of Lincoln Center (specifically, Columbus Ave. just below 65th St.) It has since been replaced by a clearance advisory -- THANK GOODNESS!!!
