Even here in Hong Kong where English is a second language, there is plenty of humor for an American. One thing I love about HK is that, in contrast to China, it is far more friendly and accessible to people with disabilities. Point in case — handicapped restrooms. I know that for many of you, a special access toilet is not anything to be amazed by. But they are rare in China. This one gets special marks for its peculiar sign.
Sort of broadens the use of the handicapped toilet, doesn’t it?
Now this next sign below is not really odd if you look at it with Cantonese speaking eyes. But how can I resist? I don’t speak Cantonese.
This dialogue is going through my mind.
Lady A “My dentist Terrence is really great. No pain at all.”
Lady B “Really? I heard he was overweight. Is that true? Is he fat?”
Lady A “Girl, FAT is his middle name!”
And we end with a wonderful sign — not crazy at all.
Wouldn’t you love to live here?
It sounds like something from Mary Poppins!
Hope I made you laugh!
