In countries where the English language is used with local twists, a lots of fun is generated inadvertently. Following are a few funny signposts:
# At a Beijing eatery: "Customers giving orders will be promptly executed."
# At a French restaurant: "The water you drink here has been personally passed by the manager."
# Signpost at a hospital: "Speak only truth. Never lie down with the nurses."
# In a Bucharest Hotel lobby: "The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable."
# In a Japanese hotel: "You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid."
# Inside a Hong Kong tailor shop: "Ladies buying dresses may have a fit upstairs."
# Sign at an ex-barber's shop: "Lower hair cutting shop has been shifted upstairs."
# At a Bangkok dry cleaner's: "Drop your trousers here for best results."
# In a Zurich hotel: "Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for that purpose."
# In a hotel in Athens: "Visitors are expected to complain at the office between 9 and 11 am, daily."
# Advertisement for donkey rides in Thailand: "Would you like to ride on your own ass?"
# Posted in a German Black Forest: "It is strictly forbidden in our black forest camping site that people of different sex, for instance, men and women, live together in one tent unless they are married with each other for that purpose."
# In a Belgrade elevator: "To move the cabin, push button for wishing floor. If the cabin should enter more persons, each one should press a number of wishing floor. Driving is then going alphabetically by national order."
