I implore you to take it easy because I seriously don't know what your talking about.

Oh, well. I tried.

I couldn't care less about the sign. I just thought @good sam's post was really cool.

ETA: And I, for one, am not from or in Lakewood, nor am I anywhere near Lakewood.  :)

@netantnel
@smurf
@aygart

When you say that there should be no apostrophes in the sentence, IF you are ignoring @good sam's post and simply commenting on the picture of the sign in the supermarket in Lakewood, you are absolutely correct. But if you read @good sam's post (which @netantnel certainly did), then you would understand that @good sam has discovered a clever way to understand the sentence in a grammatically correct way WITHOUT making any changes to it. @netantnel then commented that even with  @good sam's explanation, there is still one mistake. I then offered my opinion as to what that mistake was.
Based on your susequent comments, it seems that @good sam's clever post completely flew over your heads. I implore you to go back and reexamine it, with the hope that this time you will grasp his meaning.
The husband owns an exclamation point. This exclamation point is being addressed enthusiastically. The word "these" refers to items that are unseen and unidentified. The husband's exclamation point is being informed that "these" items are owned by the 9x13. Which 9x13? The one that the exclamation point's wife sent him to get.
That's all.
ALOL

And I stand corrected.  The second "9x13" should be singular.

As a limud zchus to the drafter though, as smurf said, there are those who use apostrophe s following a numerical, even when it's not possessive (e.g. back in the 90's, or "this sentence contains two 9's).
If you don't care why would you comment?

Would you say the same if their mother's/wives were wearing full body burkas?
At some point it all becomes a C"H.

You're giving them too much credit. It's just for attention.

If that's Ratzon Hashem then it isn't a Chilul Hashem even if they might think we fell from the moon.

Regarding Burkas I'm not really familiar with the issue so I won't comment.

Unfortunately, many already do. Did you see the cover story of last week's Mishpacha?

I don't think G-d wants people from Meah Shearim (or anyone) exposed to the Pritzus in the airport.

If someone wants to live a totally sheltered life and never step out of the bais medrash, then I say ashrei chelkum.  But to the extent that the vast majority of us do live in this world, a blindfold is not the answer.  I want to know where these guys are flying to that warrants leaving their 4 amos.  Don't take a trip to the States and show everyone you're so holy that you need a blindfold.  Stay home.

Apparently those eye covers work very well if he can see that someone's taking a picture of him.

Which airports are you frequenting :o
Do they also wear blindfolds while walking down the street? They may get killed by a car but at least they won't see pritzus!

These people (esp the younger ones) probably never stepped foot in a Pritzus area, besides one time a year when they fly to Uman.

I'm not sure what airport in the world meets the halachik standard of Tznius.

Let's not kid ourselves. When was the last time you saw a decent perfume advertisement? Every brand is competing for the most outrageous and risqué billboards to get people's attention.

I don't think that what these people are doing is the right thing, but don't make it out like travelling through the airport is just like going to a wedding in the next town.

And while we're on the subject, here is another....
