Last week I saw two stores with signs advertising "Passover" specials. I should get a picture.

Comic Sans: check
Scare quotes: check
Miscellaneous typographical marks used for emphasis: check

Then you'll like the banner hanging at the restaurant in my town:

We will be "Open" during Chol HaMoed.  "Kosher" for Passover.  "Chag Sameach"
