Flag of Thailand  ,
Monday, October 20, 2008

I've seen plenty of pictures of English-ish signs that just don't quite get their point across, but I had no idea what a consistent source of entertainment they would be for me on this trip.
A few of my favorites:

1) "Foot   Oil
     Thai  Face"

- Yes, Will Shortz, the answer is "massage."

2) "Beware of your valuable possessions"

- My favorite so far.  I think the monks in this temple would be delighted to know that their entire tradition had been so well summarized in one failed attempt to warn against thievery.  I only wish we had some of these signs back home.

3)"     Satanic    -    Majestic

    It's Happened to be a Closet"

- I have no f-ing idea

I think the sign author here was reviewing R. Kelly's mini-opera Trapped in the Closet. I would also like to add 'asinine' and 'delightful.'
Also, I was thinking, you should call this thing you do here blogorrhea. It's more accurate than blahg and equally punny.
I want pictures!
