How did you find that site, Tom? My husband and I have been ROFL-ing for several minutes now, and I've bookmarked it.

One of my best friends used to travel a little with her brother. They're like me, really sticklers for punctuation and spelling, etc. In their travels, they'd stop at small cafes for meals, grab the menus, and see who could find the first boo-boo.
