This lawyer needs to be stopped before he actually *kills* someone! 918?!? He's a **MENACE!!!**

Yes, it's real. No, I'm not trying to advertise him, but thought the first thing that came to my mind upon seeing it was too funny not to share. I'm apparently not the only one as this image was found on FB, according to DDG. The number apparently refers to his telephone area code, with the word supposed to translate to the rest of the digits via the dial (explainer for the non-Americans in the room).

To me, at first glance it reads like a headline stating that he injured 918 people.

I didn't understand it without explanation either.

I do love the .com at the end, though. Judicious use of space, or stupid design? Why not both?!

Sorry, actually not from OK (& I won't get into whether I actually am OK). Just happened to pass through at one point & then thought of it this morning, so I had to look it up.

This is one of those cultural misunderstanding posts.

The letters translate to numbers on a keypad in the US.

TY for trying to help, but I'm from the US, and understand all that - in fact I explained it myself in the body text of the post. I just thought if you only glanced at it at first (as I did when I saw it), it looks a bit like a headline, or maybe a boast that he injured so many. In that quick glance, the ".com" even looked like an inverted exclamation point that my subconscious mind automatically flipped.
