You Tell Me

 

The joy of improbable signs. Perhaps it's ok to set a fire but not to feed one?

We Kan Increse Yor Mony

Just driving along a street in New Maadi and I looked up and almost died laughing. We get some good typos in signs, but this is a doozy. I'm sure that they didn't realise that louts and lotus are not at all the same.

The Truthful Animals Cost More

I spend a quiet Christmas with friends usually, doing most of my Christmas shopping for my kids online since they live abroad. But some of the stores here do have Christmas displays and Carrefour can usually be relied on for something entertaining. In this case, while walking through the toy section I found a banner proclaiming that there was a sale on "lying farm animals". Since the animals pictured are a rhinocerus and a tiger among other things, one must assume that the truthful farm animals are still full price.

The best thing about shopping at Carrefour is the guy who writes the signs for the specials and sometimes just the regular signs identifying products. In all fairness, if I were to try to write in Arabic, my spelling mistakes would probably be MUCH, much worse...but then I'm sensible and stick to a language that I actually do know how to speak and spell.
