My friend Maura took this photo in a shop in Ireland called News Bites:
Apparently, the shop's punctuation ability bites, too.
Thanks, Maura!

I might be persuaded to cut them some slack on this one. Photo is short for photograph, hence the apostrophe in "Photo's" could be substituting for the missing "graph" part of the word.
It probably isn't, though.
Mind you, at least they don't start a sentence with the word "but".
