    I pass this sign every day on my way to work; every day, I am bothered by it. Today, I was so bothered that i risked life and limb to take a poorly-lit picture with my cameraphone while driving. I know it’s blurry - what do you expect? It reads: “Sale? Sale, Sale! It’s on.” I contend that it should read ‘Sale? Sale. Sale!
