...So, I'm driving north of Milwaukee a few years ago when I pass a "Big Boy" restaurant. The sign in front was missing the G in big....I had to pull over to stop from laughing. Another time I saw a sign at a buffet that said "over baked chicken". I think they meant oven baked....

Dear Friends:

I was going through some of my old photographs looking for something that I could use on my web site for a fish recipe.

I came across a photo that I took of the menu of a fish restaurant on the island of Lesvos, Greece. It is a great photo of fresh fish with a huge sign that reads:

FRESH LESBIAN FISH! ORGANICALLY GROWN LESBIAN CHICKENs!

You have to understand that the equivalent of the letter "V" in Greek is the letter "B". It was an innocent mistake that drew the attention of all the English speaking tourists.

"Shrimp Scampi"... doesn't Scampi mean Shrimp in Italian. And for that matter, how do you make Chicken Scampi. Doesn't that mean Chicken Shrimp?

maybe not a menu cliche or a food item, but to those in the know still quite funny.

I was working in an establishment, and a letter arrived for the owner, titled " to the Chief Chef".

Hmm, i wonder if that is the same as "Boss Boss"?.

Not just silly, but really dumb.
