> [@Napier](#): > > A sign that says “PARK POLICE SNOWMOBILES HERE ONLY”. There are at least 32 possible meanings for this sign, depending on which combination of the other words “ONLY” is modifying, and whether “PARK” refers to a place for recreation or for the act of leaving a vehicle. Even if you establish what other words “only” is modifying, “only” itself also has two meanings: It could mean “park \ only here, not anywhere else”, or it could mean “park only \ here, not any other things”. ---

A couple of days ago my wife and I were driving and we saw a truck with the American Auto Association logo on it (AAA). Under the AAA it said “Batteries delivered and installed.” My wife turned to me and said, “Why would they need to deliver and install AAA batteries?” ---

A couple weeks ago I saw something on the back of a car that looked from a distance like a campaign bumper sticker. Background was three wide horizontal stripes in bright blue / red / blue pattern. The writing was white letters and included some 5-pointed stars. So far so ordinary. But as I got closer I saw it said > GIANT METEOR > \*\*\*\*\* 2024 \*\*\*\*\* > Just End it Already I’m sure lots of us can get into that sentiment.
