New Finland dog. (This took me a while; I had to look at the picture.)

I saw that from the streetcar in Toronto many many years ago and laughed like a drain.

Then there is the classic bill from a restaurant. Somebody ordered Ratatouille, and somebody else order Mousse.... so the bill looked like a pest control company's bill, as it included
