I'd like a wohpper, no maoy

Up until about a couple days ago, the local Burger King displayed on their marquee, "Try our new Wohpper sandwich!" The sign had been unchanged for at least 4 months or so.

To think that this could happen, when the name "Whopper" is displayed promiently on the windows, the signs, the menus, the placemats. It's quite a shame. Okay, so the sign was pointed away from the actual store. Still, though, I'm surprised that the employees had not discovered or been alerted to the mistake.

It kind of reminds me of a sign I saw on a local Hooters restaurant here in Irving. As you may or may not know, Irving is the home of Texas Stadium, the eyesore home of the Dallas Cowboys. According to the signs, Hooters offers bus rides to the game, and also the game on big screen TV. Big Cowboys supporter, apparently. One day this past football season, I'm driving past the restaurant and observe the sign outside. I actually tried to come up with a logical reason for the mistake, like maybe they were trying to be funny and doing a "dumb blonde" kind of thing. Then I came to my senses and realized that as crazy as it was, they made a spelling mistake.

"Go Couboys," it said. :)
