As long as your barefoot pet doesn't smoke, anything should be just fine?

One time I was in a supermarket and the shopping cart had a little sign on the child seat: "Do not leave child in cart. Do not leave in parking lot.' Like, I hop no one needs to be told not to leave their child in the parking lot.

Yes, the person who wrote them missed it because you tend to automatically filter out the 'wrong meaning without even thinking about it. But 'unclear writing because people usually figure it out' is not really a substitute for clarity.

He's obviously not an angel fish, especially since he hasn't figured out how to keep the cigar lit underwater. This makes him swear like a sailor.
