This sign, in front of a dog park in Somerville, lists 14 rules for conduct inside the park. Rule number 7 contains an apostrophe catastrophe (their dogs actions), but number 3 amuses me more because it seems to be addressed at the dogs.
And if we want to be really picky, rule number 1 is missing a space after the period.

I enjoy "Dog IN HEAT SHALL NOT be allowed in area."
Not to mention "and or" in #6 ==> missing a '/'
And "leashed up entering and exiting" (#9) hurts my ears. As does #4's "a leash in hands." But if someone can have up to 3 dogs, and every dog is on a leash, and the owner is holding one leash in both hands... what about the other 2 dogs?
Ha!! that's funny.
I wonder if these dogs have to carry a picture id that shows date of birth. Rule 12 states that dogs MUST be at least 4 months old.
