7. I had the collection of "Anguished English" books by Richard Lederer
He receives submissions of bloopers from people all over the world and writes entire books about them. If you ever pick up this series of books, you'll die laughing.

Other funny headlines, signs, medical bloopers, etc., I've read, and remembered off the top of my head:

PUNISHMENT ARGUMENTS TO END TODAY IN SLASHING.



10 minute parking for cleaning customers only.

Preoperative diagnosis: herniated dick.

A science blooper: Elephants eat roots, leaves, grasses, and sometimes bark.

On a baby stroller: Remove child before folding.
