I see this kind of sh!t all the time, they figure that by the time you get to the counter, and they ring you up at $10, that you'll just say screw it, and buy it anyways. I don't think I've ever seen the fine print that small, especially on an A-frame. I don't think its meant to be funny either. To the dooshbag who can't read. It says 4.99 (the 99 is small, hence the enlarged pic below it), not 4 bucks. So its 9.98. If your going to correct somebody, who is correcting somebody, be correct yourself!

Are you all serious? You're telling me 4+4 doesn't = 10? I guess I'd better go through the last 27 years of my check register. I could be off by a few $$$$$.

Gotta love it. Yeah. Except for the part where you have to live in Tyler, TX.

I have to say that I live in Tyler, TX which claims to be "The Rose Capital of the Nation." Here you can easily get 1 Dozen beautiful, great smelling roses for $2. Gotta love it.

I like how in this guy's mind, it was more likely Tony didn't know that 4+4=8 than he had just misread the sign. Particularly considering the whole point of the post was that the sign was deceptive.

4 bucks a half dozen is 8 bucks a dozen. You know. 4+4=8 So they're 8 bucks a dozen. Just sayin'. Dude...there is something wrong with your brain...clearly you failed to read the article...$4.99 per 1/2 doz lady

I think all of you are a bunch of pansies, talking about roses. Next you all are gonna discuss the color pink. I think I will leave before that discussion starts.

4+4 = 8 , yes... but u didn't even read the above, perhaps you were too busy being a wanker. 4.99 + 4.99 = 9.98 a dozen And btw mate, if you're going to be a 13 yr old know it all, at least know wtf u are talking about first.

There is another sign like that not too far from LA in Riverside, CA on the 215N-- it says in enormous letters -- FREE TINT. Upon closer inspection it actually says FREEway TINTing. Total BS.

You should provide the name and phone number of this business and ask all readers to call them and demand they change their sign. A few hundred calls should make them realize the error of their ways.

C'mon, Tony, what kind of action do you think you're gonna get for four-dollar roses? And now this chick knows she's not worth even 10 bucks?
