Almost daily you see billboards bearing the word TOLET and a phone number.
(Not long ago) When I was a kid, I would mispronounce this word as TOILET and would often wonder why is there a phone number there. I would think, probably they wrote it so people could dial this number and ask the person where the nearest restroom is! But then, one day, 3 billboards in a row saying TOLET caught my attention and made me think, "Why can't people use their "own" restrooms rather than calling others and using theirs. What is the emergency?"
Now, I have figured out what ToLet is, and why do they write a phone number there. But this thing still amuses me. Tell me honestly how many of you knew that the word on the billboards is TOLET and not TOILET.
Cheerio =)
