The multi-purpose spoons are available at the Jet Blue terminal at JFK.

Also, a few years ago in midtown, I saw a sign that said "Ears Pierced While U Wait!"

Lake Placid, NY summer of 2004. I laughed when I saw what had to be some vandalism to the sign.

I saw this sign in Rajasthan. It took me a few confused moments until I realized in was supposed to say Chilled Beer!

You may have received this submission from me a few minutes ago .... I did something stupid on my computer and may have messed it up, so am sending it again. I saw this sign in a parking lot in Katonah, NY, last January. At first it seems perfectly fine, but it's not! I had to go back and take a picture of it!

My husband and I visited the Three Gorges Dam project in China in October 2007. We saw this sign on a fence where people could stand to see the dam. They probably meant that no one should climb over the fence, but their English didn't rise to the occasion. We had a good laugh!
