The Language of Signs

Signs are great communication tools. Though they can sometimes be misleading or ambiguous, once in a while you come across some really hilarious ones, like these as submitted to telegraph.co.uk . The comments are copied verbatim from the site, simply because I couldn't do better. Enjoy them... For more chuckles, visit the site.

A sign in Beijing Zoo says..


Oh dear!...Is the car park half full or half empty?

The streets in Wausau are kept so clean you could perform surgery on them.

Deep thinkers ahead

    Kennhyn, hi! I'm not a beer person but probably it has to be Paulaner for its sweet taste. Could you tell the difference between the one served at Microbrewery and the one here in KL?
