goldenlangur Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Hi, For a bit of fun, have you in your daily commute or travels around the globe come across some mad signs that made you pucker your brows and scratch your head in some bewilderment and then laugh out aloud? Do share your sightings of mad signs here on this thread. :D To start this off here's one: Hotel catering to skiers, Austria : NOT TO PERAMBULATE THE CORRIDORS IN THE HOURS OF REPOSE IN THE BOOTS OF ASCENSION.

tonyv Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Pretty funny, Goldenlangur. :)) Something like that was probably generated by a computerized translator.:D What gets me are the professionally made commercial signs containing errors on stores and vehicles. Let's see ... What have I seen lately? "Distributors for Electrical Supplies" (on a building, after the name of the company) and "Refridgeration license #" (on a truck) You'd think the printers and sign makers would say something, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. They're probably tired of hearing, "No, what I said is right!" I'll keep my eyes open for any zany signs! Tony :D Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenlangur Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Pretty funny, Goldenlangur. :)) Something like that was probably generated by a computerized translator.:D You may well be right, Tony. :D A friend of mine who lived and worked in Japan says that the many zany signs in English found there may well be deliberate swipe. ;) "Distributors for Electrical Supplies" (on a building, after the name of the company) and "Refridgeration license #" (on a truck) Great examples. :)) Particularly love the Refridgeration! I'll keep my eyes open for any zany signs! Tony :D Look forward to some more. Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.
