Meantime, in Hatfield:

Edible Arraignments, huh? Interesting! Could mean several different things.

Maybe this is you appearing in front of the judge for selling pot brownies. Or you show up in court and they hand you a complimentary fruit basket after reading off the list of charges.

“Sir, you are accused of vomiting on the person in front of you at the Phillies game.* How do you plea? And before you go, the court officer will direct you to this assortment of cantaloupe and pineapple.”

What’s funny is that the front of the business doesn’t even say “Edible Arrangements.” It just says “Edible,” which could mean anything if you’re not familiar with the business of delivering uniquely-arranged fruit.


But yeah, the person who did the sign welcoming people into the shopping center was obviously struggling a bit. They also put “Chinese Gorment” in there when it should say “Chinese Gourmet.” I feel like Montco needs a generic spellchecking position in the county administration. Unpaid volunteer gig, maybe like a retired Methacton English teacher or something. There’s a hotline or an email address, like spellcheck@montco.org. If you’re a restaurant building a menu or the guy running Ralph’s Corner signage, you can email your spelling and grammar questions and someone will get back to you within 24 hours. Good idea? Bad idea? It would be a public service, like a complimentary proofread at no charge.

*RIP Pukemon. Did you know he died? Poor guy didn’t make it past 25.
