Mon poisson frais ne vous rendent pas malade.

What he said

Across the street, a neon sign -All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine -Aww, that old stew is the baddest in the land -But one dollar’s worth was all that I could stand…

Thanks Huey

Truth in advertising.

And as the Anglo-French mermaid fanciers association always says “One man’s mate is another man’s poisson”.

I’ve had fish sausage, from a little place in Bellaire, MI. It sounds putrid but it was really good…even I liked it…

You forever changed the defination of the word, buffet!

Stomach pumping extra.

Hey Yo, I’ll take a hot dog, with French’s mustard.

We were 19 or so, my 3 buddies and I. We went to an “all-you-can” for $3.99. When we finally paid the bill and left, the old man said, “you no come back here, you eat too much. You come back, I charge you double”. The food was good, but we never did go back.

Don’t mind the sign, I’m new around here…

San Francisco has the best food trucks in the whole world!

I bet a good percentage of the people who see this can’t figure out what the joke is because they truly believe that quotation marks indicate emphasis, not a word substitution. This is another thing that has driven me crazy for years.

Illegal immigrant fusion food, and it is more than I can stomach..Fact: Locally, we had a “chef” invent and publish a recipe for Watermelon and Jalapeno Pepper Salsa. Actually thought it was a great idea..

if it’s not One Way, that’s 400 bucks with court costs for parking on that side of the street. also, US-built roach coaches open on the RIGHT side. duh.

@dfowensbyWith this roach coach, the right side has barf bags available for $5.

St. Pete had a battle royale with a hot dog vendor who wanted to work late. http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/st-petersburg-hot-dog-vendors-victory-over-city-hall-turns-bittersweet/1076815

Featuring "Le Lunch Truck mayonaisse; relish du jour; le dill piquel; for dessert, le mousse; and naturalemente, le french fries! Bon apetit!

@Vonne AntonThe positive spin on indigestion. Tums, anyone?

“Please put the seat down to control odor” is written in the Outhouses in some parks in Michigan. It doesn’t specify who is quoted…..

My favorite example of a bi-lingual “fail” was a sign in Los Angeles in front of store which advertised “Gran Apertura!”, meaning “big hole”. The owner probably meant to use “Gran Abierto” in the sense of “grand opening”.

Put the word fresh in quotes and suddenly it’s not so fresh any more. There was once a publisher of the Chicago Tribune who wanted to use quotes to emphasize everything. His editor couldn’t make him see the problem until he said to the publisher, “OK, how about we run a photo and the caption reads, ‘Tribune publisher and his quote-wife-unquote on the town’?” Publisher finally saw the problem.
