On "OF" and "IF"
Picked up a tourist/businessman at the airport. On the way to the hotel the following conversation ensued.
"Why does that sign say 'if'?"
"What?"
That sign just said '1:16 if'. If what?"
"I don't know."
We watched the bank sign scroll through its message.
"Watch, here it is..... 1:16.... if. Wait! I guess it says 'of'. I thought it said 'if'."

"Uh, that's not "OF". That's the temperature."
