"Ick"
In the competitive world of retail children's clothing,
giving your store a name like this is just taking
yourself right out of the competition.
"My mom bought me these Icky clothes..."
|
"Photogenic Spot"
So I've seen signs similar to this in the US,
particularly at Disneyland, but the ghost-like
figures telling you where to stand are just too much.

|
"Danger-Working In Progress
Please Do not stand aside"
No, they'd rather you lay right
down in front of the bulldozer.
|
"Please do not place
any part of body
out of the railings"
What part of the body is the drawing referring to?
|
|
"No abrupt push
Beware of man behind door"
The funny thing about this sign is not so much what it says as it's location... we were in a long dark corridor by ourselves trying to find an elevator since Ben was asleep in his stroller. At the dead end of the corridor we saw this. Pretty creepy, I thought we were alone...

"Gynaecological, Paediatric Problems
All Kinds of Painful Conditions"
So I suppose that "pediatric problems" can generally be traced to "gynecological problems" about nine months earlier, and having two kids of our own, I would say that parenthood is frequently a "Painful Condition". Nice to know that the medical community acknowledges that!

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

"UNDERWEAR STOCKING GRAND"
Says who?
|
|
"Disinfection Carpet"
On the ground at the theater where we saw the Cantonese Opera. If only they had some sort of "Disinfection Q-Tips" to take the horrible ringing sound away after we left...
|
"Don't Throw Coin"
But large bills are okay...
|
|
"Care the lovely plants"
Wow. I bet the sign cost way more than the plants.
|
"Theft is A Serious Crime"
What are the others?
|
"POLITE NOTICE"
Can you politely decline and park there anyway?
|
"Life Saving Box"
This could come in handy.
|
|
"Danger System Alive"
Our fuse box is near our front door, inside the shoe cupboard. Every now and then, you can hear a
loud booming noise coming from it. This led me to
investigate. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the system is alive. I quickly shut the cupboard
and try not to do anything that might anger it.
|
"Everyday Fun Dry-Cleaning & Laundry"
I wouldn't call doing the laundry "everyday fun",
or frankly "anyday fun", but if you enjoy doing
that sort of thing, this place has an opening...
