Speaking of asinine signs, check out the one on the side of Copa Banana:
Come to Copa for Philly’s “best” margaritas, burgers, and fries. It’s brilliant. To the casual observer, they promise top-notch food and drinks, but if you try to pin them down they’re not actually claiming anything.
More people should try this tactic. Forget U.S. News & World Report, let’s just tell people we go to the “best” school in the country. Philadelphia is the “safest” city around. The Eagles are “first place” in the NFC East.
Mom, if you’re reading, I’m getting a “4.0″ this term, and I’m going to be “employed” next year.

I’m “writing” a paper as week speak!

It’s a shame we let people avoid “responsibility” for their actions and statements.

You mean I’m NOT the best mother in the world?

I “love” unnecessary quotation marks!

This is the “best” column I’ve ever read. “Seriously”.

This probably isn’t a case of unnecessary quotes. It’s most likely a reference to a “Best of Philly” award, and therefore quotation marks around “Best” would be appropriate.

A tour of the Copa web site verifies Slater’s speculation. I’m skeptical about the actual truth of the claim, especially since it is made for all three locations.
I’m glad we could clear that up and have a few laughs in the process.

Copa: Penn’s “best” bar.
