In Even Plastic Cup

One thing I love about my boys:  they also like to laugh at stupid grammatical errors on public signs.  This one was posted on a sign outside a pool in a sad little hotel in Omaha.  It went on and on about no alcoholic beverages were allowed.  And no glass.  And at the end after one more warning of the dangers of bringing in alcohol it gave the final demand:  No Alcohol.  In Even Plastic Cup.  That became a catch phrase around here.  Can I use the computer, Mom?  Can I use it now?  No.  Not now.  In Even Plastic Cup.  Quit asking.

This sign also brought up memories of the time we were taking a tour of a cave and were given explicit instructions to "Don't touch nothin'".  Huh?  Just where does that leave us?
