The state of U.S. education in two words.
I was just cutting my grass and a car passed by with the following phrase painted on the back window.
GO SENOIRS!
Some lucky college or university will have this student next fall.

P.S. The good news: Very neat lettering.

I work for a social-service agency which provides services to seniors, and I type "senoirs" at least once a day, despite having been a professional writer and copy-editor.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Well, when next you find yourself working at Burger King, it will be a comfort to know that you're flexible and take well to changes in life.

"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

US OUT OF NICARAGAU
The best part was that the way it was removed, probably wire-brush, it left a virtually permanant impression of said letters. I'm just glad that the Romans didn't find the perps and make them write it correctly 100 times.
