One of the most amusing aspects of living in a foreign country is the written word - business signage, menus, misspellings, or translations into English. Here is a variety of funny pics, some taken by me and others that found their way to me, that will hopefully make you laugh out loud.

Amusing. But I think the disability sign is right on.
ReplyDeleteI think the ash tray is under the no smoking sign so people can put their cigarettes they were already smoking out, instead of just throwing them on the ground or in the trash and catching things on fire.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I second the disability sign. I don't think that was an accident at all.
Thanks for some good laughs.
ReplyDeleteThere is an equivalent sign in France for the parking space.
The most recent one I sighted was amongst the slim cut trousers, some were marked SLIMY.
Love that - slimy pants!
DeleteHaha....I love these!
ReplyDeleteSo funny
