What could it mean?
Are you like me, that when travelling around to different towns on the weekend, you always keep your eyes open for funny shop or street signs?
It might be a throwback to the good old days of
Hey, Hey it's Saturday (notice I said 'good old days' and am not referring to the show's recent resurrection) when they had, as part of their
Media Watch segment, people send in photographs of misspelled public advertising or signs with grammatical errors. The mistakes always changed the meaning of the sign in some hilarious way.
Also amusing are the type of signs that tell you what not to do, and I thought this one was a perfect example. When looked at as just a picture with no written explanation, in the way a non-English speaking visitor might see it, this sign seems to suggest;
No beaming yourself up to the Starship Enterprise using our teleporter.'
Don't let any red-haired Yetis take dining plates off the drying rack'.'
No blinking ornaments to be hung on the Christmas tree.'
No pole dancing allowed at this electro-rave party.'
Or course, it actually is a sign alerting people of the dangers of touching high-voltage power lines but what fun would life be without a little witty interpretation, right?
What funny signs have you seen?
