STATEN ISLAND A very observant CBS 2 viewer stumbled upon quite an embarrassing spelling error for Staten Island traffic officials when some road sign crews apparently had a bit of trouble spelling the word "yield."
It's hard to miss, and even if you do, you'll likely stumble upon it again and again...and again. Signs posted along Midland Beach read in bright green and white paint: YEILD TO PEDESTRIANS.
The grade school error is causing a stir in the community, and passersby are finding plenty of amusement in the mistake. After all, at what age is the common adage, "I before E, except after C" taught to us?
A spokesman for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation told CBS 2: "It's an unfortunate mistake. An error was made. The signs should never have been put up."
And then, perhaps stating the obvious, the spokesperson added: "The person putting up the signs didn't notice."
Goosey's Gabbings...
So THAT's what Dan Quayle is doing these days.
Evidently road crews were so frustrated trying to get the spelling of Rudy Guiliani's name correct, they just put "Rudy-not the guy from Notre Dame."
