Did You Forget Your Bag?

Dig the signs. And the passers-by (passer-bys?). Though, in the 27 seconds I stood reading the sign, not one person had a reusable bag in hand.

These guys chose paper. Not sure if pink pants (above) prefers paper or plastic.

Trader Joe’s on La Brea. L.A. (So psyched to have a TJ’s close by.)

They should have a third sign. Suggestions for the Bagless. (J’s method, which I’ve adopted: re-load the cart post-purchase, sans-bag. Wheel it out to the car, deposit your eggs and arugula and organic kettle corn in the backseat, return the cart.)

    elledub,

    passers-by. isn't that fun to say? passers-by.

    did you know that the plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac? well, it is. i don't know if you ever have use for plural culs-de-sac, but now you know. isn't that a funny thing?

    dabz: I guess hyphenated words are weird to begin with and continue their weirdness with “s”s (esses?). I had no idea about many culs-de-sac, and to that, I say Only In America, ya'll. Or, rather, all ya'll(s).

  • Name

    i hear we stole it from the French!

    But, in French, aren't “s”s usually silent anyway? And it doesn't sound ridiculous? Whisper French to me any time, and I'll think it's incredible, regardless of how many culs-de-sac are thrown in.

    as a lady from the south, i'd like to correct the apostrophe in your “ya'll”.

    it's “y'all”… as in “you all”.

    you + all.

    and yes, the plural is “all y'all”… ["s" on the end is optional.]
