What I read: EROTIC POTS
What the sign actually says: EXOTIC POTS
This exercise in Freudian visual disturbances is made worse by the fact that the second line of the sign is EXOTIC STAFF. What on earth does a garden store mean when they claim they have exotic staff?

You should check it again – maybe it said "EXOTIC STUFF"

ooh, maybe it does. I always get stuck on the pots, and by that stage the tram has moved on.

Here in the Can, erotic pots are entirely possible.
As for exotic staff, given the horticultural context does that mean the staff are not indigenous to your local area? Watch them. In time, they may become invasive staff. (ob)noxious, even.
I should really be working …

nope, double-checked this morning. definitely staff. my mind boggles.

It's probably a misspelling of 'staph' then. They're offering exotic staph infections, betcha.

@jan: ha – "all at great prices" too!
@mel: it does seem an odd thing to advertise, and this is horticultural, not, er, shall we say the fishwyck demographic…
