So who's this Asian person, Lae Ping, and is he or she literate? That is the question.

They are obviously supporters of the Las Angeles Education Partnership (real group).
Either that or somebody's cleaning erasers right now.
Geezer alert!

How about the smell of the papers that just came of the DITTO MACHINE.
Flagging down the geeezer bus.

I used to drive by a public grade school that was named Prairie School. Only for the first few years the sign was spelled Prarie. I still can't believe how many years it took them to fix it.

Mikey, everybody knows it's spelled 'Flardah'.

I went to a school named for a former principal, Mr. Beetle. I spent a lot of the 70's wondering why they had spelled "Beatle" wrong.

Lae Ping happens to be a very fine "English as a Second Language" taecher.

Only one night to be "literate"?
Priorities, right?

They may be talking about Gaelic literacy and the laeping thereto.

I bet a Union worker took three hours to create this with a fifteen minute break between letters.

I also see a hurricane route sign next to it. I hope the residents are able to read it during an emergency and take heed.

Oh, yes, Mikey, I remember that smell.
And I remember some of our more adventurous teachers used the Ditto machine a little too much.

The worst misspelling I ever spotted on a sign was at a McDonalds advertizing an "EEG MCMUFFIN".
