What are some of the funniest misspellings or misprints you've ever seen in a print ad, article or on a sign?

Every once in a while I will run across a misspelling or misprint that is hilarious. It might be in a newspaper, magazine, or other publication or on a billboard or sign. Sometimes I find them on product packaging. It’s especially funny when it gives the message a meaning that was definitely never intended. The following three are some I’ve seen in my local newspaper:

“Pet hamster $500” (For that price, it had better do dishes)
“Wedding dress for sale, size 10, worn once by mistake.”

My favorite recent one was on a small sign placed in the elevator at my parking garage. It read “Pubic Square, Level One.” When they fixed it, I was a little disappointed.

Please share yours. (Note: I’m asking for ads, signs, and things you’ve seen in print media, not mistakes made here by other Jellies. That would be mean)
