Dumbass Of the Week: The Wisconsin Highway Sign Makers

A sign on Interstate 39 in Wisconsin has every word misspelled except for the word "exit." Granted, there are only 4 words on the highway sign, but how do the sign makers misspell 3 out of the 4 words! Rothschild and Schofield may be difficult words to spell, especially if you've never heard of them or seen them, but that's why people do research, and have others double check the work!

Here is the highly misspelled sign:
spell heard people research double check work highly misspelled sign

spell heard people research double check work highly misspelled sign

The Wisconsin sign makers couldn't even get the word "Business" right... they spelled it "buisness." Come on people! According to the I-39 sign, it's exit number 185, but now I am starting to wonder, maybe it's actually supposed to be exit 158. Who knows. lol

That's a pretty bad and embarrassing mistake to make. But the sign company is taking full responsibility and will be replacing the sign soon.

As Bill Engvall would say "Here's your sign...!"

OK, I am just as amused as the rest of you, but let's make sure we have our facts straight before shooting off at the virtual mouth...Decker Supply, where the sign was made, is NOT a union shop, dogs voice. Also, pdshanny, mistake has 1 s, not 2.

Come on! Like no one ever makes a misstake.

Union employees at their finest! And as viper4358 mentioned, this is your tax dollars at work. Paid for the sign and then for the 8 or more employees and 4 supervisors to put it up. You'd think with possibly up to 12 employees there, they would have seen the misspellings when they put the sign up. Or may be they are NOT as smart as a 5th grader. And just think about how much per hour they were paid to do this. Common sense, anyone???? Makes me wonder??????

Look at the map. Wisconsin sits between the land of Barack and the land of Franken. That explains everything.
Bill to Racefish July 28, 2009 15:41:44

And you sit in the land of OZ.
Racefish to Bill July 28, 2009 21:28:59

Probably, like so many other business and government jobs, this job has been filled with illegals who barely speak English.

Hmmm....could also be some sodaheaders working for them....hmmm.
