COLD BREWSKI’S

[As seen in a supermarket.]

As I wrote in a 2022 post, “I don’t go looking for trouble. It finds me.” This sign, perhaps nine or ten feet wide, hangs above a giant walk-in cooler, unignorable, in your face. Or at least above your face.

I have alerted the Apostrophe Protection Society. And I’m not joking.

It didn’t occur to me until long after posting this photograph that Brewski’s could be a possessive — that this cooler is Cold Brewski’s Place. But to my eyes the apostrophe still looks wrong, or at least badly kerned.

Maybe they ran out of sign and they wanted it to read: Cold Brewski's Brewskis? It could happen....

Good ol’ Brewski — a very chill guy. :)
