Quote of unnecessary quotation marks

I once saw a sign for a yard sale with Saturday in quotes. On that one I felt tricked. I happened to have a sharpie with me and crossed out the quotes but I wanted to go to the house and ask them if the yard sale really was on Saturday. It seemed I had stumbled across a sign that was part of a grander scheme. I pictured the evil villain sitting in his big leather chair. Stroking Muffin, his fat, white cat.
"Yes. We'll make the yard sale on [air quotes] Saturday [/air quotes]." Followed by a satisfied chuckle and a twirl to look back out the window of his high rise mansion.

I lol'ed.
