A photo of a Caltrans destination sign...

A photo of a Caltrans destination sign informing motorists how to get to “Sacrafield” ran in this space the other day.

The boo-boo apparently occurred when a worker reached into the wrong bin and grabbed a “field” suffix instead of a “mento” while putting up new signs.

Could that mean that another freeway sign somewhere else . . . ?

You bet.

“For quite some time,” writes Evelyn Hughes Maslac of Culver City, “the connector road between the Marina Freeway east and the San Diego north heralded the 405’s destination as ‘Bakersmento.’ ”

Caltrans has since sorted out those syllables. Now about those dueling signs at the entrance to the Glentura, excuse us, Glendale Freeway . . .

Some real estate agents give out note pads or refrigerator magnets or American flags bearing their names. Doris King croons. She bills herself as “The Singing Realtor” on bus bench ads in Beverly Hills.

“I was an international singing pianist for 20 years,” she explained. “I kept part of the title when I got into real estate because that’s how a lot of people remember me.”

King said that if a client has a piano, she’ll bang out a modified version of “Love for Sale” to potential buyers.

“I change the lyrics to, ‘House for Sale,’ ” she said, adding that “in today’s market you have to be different. These are million-dollar properties.”

She has so much faith in the power of her voice that when one client with a house for sale mentioned that “she was thinking of buying a grand piano, I told her, ‘Do it, now!’ And she did.”

Was King able to serenade a sale?

“No,” she said. “It was priced too high. She (the client) took it off the market.”

That’s life, as Sinatra would say.

There’s a postscript to our recent mention of the unsuccessful lawsuit of Bozo the Clown against Bozo’s the restaurant. The 68-year-old Mason, Tenn., eatery was allowed to keep its name after pointing out that its founder was nicknamed Bozo and never donned oversized shoes or a red nose.

Anyway, Mike Kerrigan of Redondo Beach called to remind us that Bozo the Clown’s ex-wife, Sandra Harmon, was co-author of the Priscilla Presley biography, “Elvis and Me.”

We bring this up just to demonstrate that every news item has an Elvis angle these days.

Invasion of the Double-Teaming Doormen:

When he saw a purse-snatcher fleeing toward him on Grand Avenue, Pacific Mutual Building employee Milton Setts flattened him with a karate blow the other day. But Setts, at 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, was unable to hold down the culprit, who escaped. So Setts yelled out to Michael Abdoulah, the doorman at the nearby Checkers Hotel and a former college football player. Abdoulah tackled the suspect and held him until police arrived. A sportswriter would have credited Setts and Abdoulah with half a sack each.
