Ironic or Entertaining Signs

IMG_0774 - Pan stop sign

 

There are no stop signs here and if there are they are mere suggestions, not commands.  It blows my mind that traffic isn’t in a constant accident.  This is one of maybe two stop signs we’ve seen in India.  They have to clarify you can proceed after stopping. 

 

 

IMG_0964 - solar cooker 

 

Notice the solar cooker is a “real boon for housewives.” Bummer it isn’t helpful for all of mankind. 

 

IMG_0971 - gents sign

 

 

This just makes me smile. A funny picture of a gent.  It’s the sign for the bathroom at the energy park.  There are far too many here with mustaches.  At least the pictures resembles reality.

Mike was ecstatic he found Lifebuoy because it was on “A Christmas Story.”  The rest of us were not as impressed, but he said Jason would love it.  

 

IMG_1011 - winter warm

 

 

This is our laundry detergent.  The part that gets me is that it is “Winter Wash.”  They don’t even know what winter is!  What winter wear could they possibly have, it is upper 80s here most of the time!

 

 

 

IMG_1064 - bike lane

Here is their “bike lane” but everything and almost everything goes done it.  Goats, cows, motorbikes, pedestrians.  Living in Madison has put bikes in a sacred spot and this does not do it justice.  At least it’s there…that’s a step. 

IMG_1040 - PH beware

It may be hard to read but tourists are advised to go on the terrace at their own risk and the parvati trust will not be responsible for “any unfortunate accident.”  At least they translated this one into English.

A little bit of Wisconsin in India—Kohler!  We spotted this sign on our quest to find the snake park.  Mike had to have a picture, so here we are!

 

 

So there you have it, a brief glimpse into some signs we see.  I’m sure we’ll have more to come.
