I don't have a pic, but this was in one of those open spaces to let cars park. There was a traffic sign that read "Max height 1,90m" and indeed there was a bar placed at that height. 1,90 would be about 6' 3". But then it had a panel below that read "Except cars". Hmm, doesn't translate well. It's a word for "car" that excludes trucks, lorries, buses... just your plain old car.

Well, the message they convey is that if you had a "car" higher than 6' 3" you could pass, bar notwithstanding. And I suck at explaining this, hehe.

I noticed on a wall in O'Hare airport tonight a large pic of a patient getting a CAT scan or maybe an MRI. It's an ad by Siemens. The humorous (for them) tag line was, Working to prevent tiny cells from becoming a big problem.

Wouldn't a condom be cheaper?

When I was a teen I would hang out downtown and there was a sign in the alley way that said, “No loitering. Violators will be prostituted."

Someone used spell check rather than a proofread. I am a bad speller, but that was funny!
