Phew. Thats about the distance that can be travelled on this blog to sound profound !
Coming back to the mistake domain, survey this signboard, seen somewhere in Tanjore.
How profound. Wouldn’t you think so ?
Speed breaks heads ! Reckless speed breaks many heads! The Superintendent of Police of Tanjore has better things to do than comming after you with his pet lathi and pocket revolver to split your head, when you exceed speed limits. This is pretty much a do-it-yourself excercise !
Or take this signboard from Lonavala.
Rickshaws these days with run the streets with colourful seats, hanging beads, and broken silencer pipes, that can roar down the Ferrari in all departments.
Throw in a fretting driver, who will haggle over the authenticity of the meter reading with a ferocity best otherwise seen of a screaming TV channel going after an insipid cricketer ! Add a dash of driving ( acrobatic ) skills that would have Schumacher and his tribe cowering in the bushes.
What would you have ? RickShow indeed ! 🙂
Or for that matter, sample this, found on every other wall in a fancy apartment complex where fancy heavy duty friends live. Every attempt has been made to let this blogger know that these are two different instructions on one piece of paper.
Well..
The complex is fully loaded. With four wheel drives, high profile designations and pockets that run deeper than the Pacific ocean ! And sometimes people with more jewellery on them than clothes. (The last part was an exaggeration, but you get the drift. Don’t you?)
Of course, there is not much of room for humour with the dour security chaps out here. With their stern looks, dry instruction and menacing walk, you must be out of your mind to spit and drive slow !
If you must spit, drive fast ! OK ?
Mistakes huh ?

one who won’t check this post will surely do a mistake 😛
LOL @ If you spit drive fast 🙂 But the message is actually for the spitters…you don’t spit and hence you don’t have to drive fast 🙂
And the worst is early morning/late night hours when despite signals showing RED color people jump signals. What to say about that???
Yeah it’s like if you do happen to spit, run for your life.. drive fast and get away. The guards might be looking for you. 😀
🙂
If you have to spit, drive fast…
If you dont have any intention to spit, then you MAY drive slow..,,,
😀

hahahahahahahahahahhaha..
I can’t say anything else now..just hahahahahahahahaha
Run for your life!!
The first sign board is awesome. Be it a mistake or an intentional effort to make more sense than it’s literal translation, I liked it 😀 😀
Loved your wonderful take on these sign boards.
Keep up the good work 🙂

I liked the first para and the last but one line the most.
Enjoyed reading it. 🙂
Mistakes become hysterically funny under your eagle eye!LOL!!
Absolutely precious. The cheap thrill seekers incidentally deserve to get their heads broken. Have you seen the reckless driving at night? And though nothing fancy about my apartment, our poor car gets a lot of spit from the people living above. Some people have more jewellery than sense. What can we say?
Our signs really provide humour! Break a head indeed.
Like your take on the signboards. Nice post
reminds me of Andaz Apna Apna .. galati se mistake ho gaya 🙂
:):)Enjoyed,thanks.
lolz
What a world you live in, Kavi!
Speed WILL break a head! Absolutely true!
