I was driving up state street several months ago and laughed out loud when I saw this painted on the side of an old fruit stand:
I could totally hear the "Doh!!" the person must have said as they realized they forgot the "n." I showed it to the kids as we were driving home one day. They made the observation that maybe it was a special type of fruit stand that only sold fruit with no "n," like kiwis, strawberries, and peaches. Or maybe they had been wronged by the letter "n" and were trying to make a statement. So they sold ba-a-as, pi-eapple. ora-ges, lemo-s, ma-gos, ho-eydew melo-s, -ectari-es, and ta-geri-es.
We laughed the rest of the way home thinking up other fruits that could be sold at the "Fruit Stad." I'll admit, I was a little disappointed (although impressed that they came up with something) when I drove by a week or so later and saw this:
P.S. The couch gives the "Fruit Stadium" a very homey feel, don't you think?

Maybe the person who wrote it had a stuffy nose?
