It's not uncommon to enter a town and see a sign with the town's name and a brief slogan, like "PODUNK: A nice place to live." Apparently, some municipalities haven't got the catchphrase thing down too well yet.
I recently passed a sign for a local town which read, "MAYFIELD. Help us to help you."
Translation: "MAYFIELD: a co-dependent community."
And for you grammar experts out there, we briefly dwelled in a lazy little town called Edneyville, NC. On the back side of the sign (the side you'd see if you were leaving) it read, "Ya'll come back!"
Um, it's YOU ALL. Not YA WILL.
