We Do Dumb Stuff Here. Lots...





Okay, this is a digression, I admit. In the months to come, expect to see many goofy signs in mangled English posted up here. Unintentional double entendres. Unintelligible messages. Last time we were in India, our favourite sign was at the Hotel Samrat, which I believe was in Amritsar. The crudely painted sandwich board sign was obviously intended to pull customers off the street with the exhortation "Hotel Samrat. Nearly as good as a 3 Star hotel!".

Just as a warning shot across the bow, I wanted to first put up these ones I found in order to prove that Asia does not have a monopoly on stupidity. In fact, for the last eight years, stupidity has been the main North American export...

I particularly like the Walgreen's Pharmacy sign the best. "Ass. fragrances 50% off" priceless!
