A lot of hot air around...


This guy qualifies to work for Zorro's Mexican Gas Chambers.

Not sure if he has already included our Home Minister in his MGC, but after Monday's fiasco, I nominate him.

Anyway, a bit of humour will loosen things up a bit (words in brackets are my comments):

English Signs from Around the World

In a Bangkok temple:
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO ENTER A WOMAN, EVEN A FOREIGNER, IF DRESSED AS A MAN.
(ok if man dressed as a woman?)

Cocktail lounge, Norway:
LADIES ARE REQUESTED NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BAR.
(perhaps, it is ok in the restaurant)

Doctor's office, Rome:
SPECIALIST IN WOMEN AND OTHER DISEASES.
(just wondering what diseases are under ‘women’)

Dry cleaners, Bangkok:
DROP YOUR TROUSERS HERE FOR THE BEST RESULTS.
(not at a stage, I suppose)

In a Nairobi restaurant:
CUSTOMERS WHO FIND OUR WAITRESSES RUDE OUGHT TO SEE THE MANAGER.
(reminds me of “Beware of the dog’s owner”)

On the main road to Mombasa, leaving Nairobi:
TAKE NOTICE: WHEN THIS SIGN IS UNDER WATER, THIS ROAD IS IMPASSABLE.
(action speaks louder than words)

On a poster at Kencom:
ARE YOU AN ADULT THAT CANNOT READ? IF SO WE CAN HELP.
(and how do you expect me to know what you have written?)

In a City restaurant:
OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND WEEKENDS.
(8 days a week in this marvellous city)

In a cemetery:
PERSONS ARE PROHIBITED FROM PICKING FLOWERS FROM ANY BUT THEIR OWN GRAVES.
(but first you have to dig one for yourself)

Tokyo hotel's rules and regulations:
GUESTS ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SMOKE OR DO OTHER DISGUSTING BEHAVIOURS IN BED.
(Other than sleep, what else can be so disgusting?)

On the menu of a Swiss restaurant:
OUR WINES LEAVE YOU NOTHING TO HOPE FOR.
(and our food leave you nothing in your pocket?)

In a Tokyo bar:
SPECIAL COCKTAILS FOR THE LADIES WITH NUTS.
(What about men with nuts?)

Hotel, Yugoslavia:
THE FLATTENING OF UNDERWEAR WITH PLEASURE IS THE JOB OF THE CHAMBERMAID.
(Never knew females can get pleasure from that...job satisfacion indeed)

Hotel, Japan:
YOU ARE INVITED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHAMBERMAID.
(Sure or not?)

In the lobby of a Moscow hotel across from a Russian Orthodox monastery:
YOU ARE WELCOME TO VISIT THE CEMETERY WHERE FAMOUS RUSSIAN AND SOVIET
COMPOSERS, ARTISTS AND WRITERS ARE BURIED DAILY EXCEPT THURSDAY.
(Didn’t know there are so many of them to die daily)

A sign posted in Germany's Black Forest:
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN ON OUR BLACK FOREST CAMPING SITE THAT PEOPLE
OF DIFFERENT SEX, FOR INSTANCE, MEN AND WOMEN, LIVE TOGETHER IN ONE
TENT UNLESS THEY ARE MARRIED WITH EACH OTHER FOR THIS PURPOSE.
(Do you take this man to live together in one tent in Black Forest...)

Hotel, Zurich:
BECAUSE OF THE IMPROPRIETY OF ENTERTAINING GUESTS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX IN THE BEDROOM, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE LOBBY BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
(to entertain the rest?)

Airline ticket office, Copenhagen:
WE TAKE YOUR BAGS AND SEND THEM IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
(why?)

A laundry in Rome:
LADIES, LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES HERE AND SPEND THE AFTERNOON HAVING A GOOD TIME
(naked?)
