Thanks, friends!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First up, this amazing, amazing specimen was found at Cafe Hillel by my good friend Dena. It starts out cute, and ends with an actual chortle!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kbU_zAVr_RE/VMlO3p1_qTI/AAAAAAAAJIw/BVkYM3evJNE/s1600/IMG_2655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kbU_zAVr_RE/VMlO3p1_qTI/AAAAAAAAJIw/BVkYM3evJNE/s640/IMG_2655.JPG" /> </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There's not much I can add to that one. Wow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then, only a few days later, my friend <a href="http://coneysthorpecorner.blogspot.co.il/">Jane</a> sent this to me, all the way from New Zealand!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOsd_mSZuxs/VMlUE_zkPdI/AAAAAAAAJJA/2FqVEclfPPE/s1600/Jane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOsd_mSZuxs/VMlUE_zkPdI/AAAAAAAAJJA/2FqVEclfPPE/s1600/Jane.jpg" height="228" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They sure are good at keeping secrets down there. Thanks, Jane!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then two days ago, this one, from our friend Dave M:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GKfLSs9dUF0/VMlZylLv2yI/AAAAAAAAJJY/M493c6IbXNM/s1600/Dave%2BM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GKfLSs9dUF0/VMlZylLv2yI/AAAAAAAAJJY/M493c6IbXNM/s1600/Dave%2BM.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How do you like your scrambird? Over, or easy?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And then last night, my online friend Robin sent this to me, found by Ben - it's a keeper :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoVuq7LGC3Y/VMlYwXGIeRI/AAAAAAAAJJM/fyU8VGYiP74/s1600/Ben.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoVuq7LGC3Y/VMlYwXGIeRI/AAAAAAAAJJM/fyU8VGYiP74/s1600/Ben.JPG" height="640" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Do you see it? Do you see it? Ahh, that's the stuff :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm so pleased to share all these with you - enjoy! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In related news, I'm thinking that maybe a facebook page would be a more convenient home for A Time of the Signs - more convenient for me to post, and more convenient for you to read. So I've created one, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/atimeofthesigns">here</a> - please let me know what you think!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have a great day all,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Tonight I'm going to pull out an oldie - this has been waiting for you in my inbox since 2012! Fortunately, bloopers don't spoil :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The ever-lovely Mrs. S. from <span id="goog_259395330"></span><a href="http://ourshiputzim.blogspot.co.il/">Our Shiputzim</a> <span id="goog_259395331"></span>found this </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">box of beads (Made in China), </span>and was kind enough to forward it to me:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That really is wonderful 100%! Just so best... You can say what you want about the Chinese - they certainly do seem optimistic and upbeat :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have a great day all, and thanks again, Mrs. S. :)</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-40773523136903819512015-01-13T23:12:00.000+02:002015-01-13T23:12:19.892+02:00Hungry?<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My dear husband the <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">Balashon</a> has been blogging up a storm recently. His theory (and it seems to be working pretty well for him so far) is that posting short posts every day or so is far easier than trying to post longer ones, which take a lot more effort. He recommended I try the same thing here, and so I shall, starting with this amazing find, sent to me just today by Avigdor - buckle up!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0F2y5nBeXJk/VLWJe4phu_I/AAAAAAAAJB8/fwf4zK-Jw1I/s1600/avigdor.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0F2y5nBeXJk/VLWJe4phu_I/AAAAAAAAJB8/fwf4zK-Jw1I/s1600/avigdor.PNG" height="288" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">See, now this is the kind of mistake I would expect to find in Israel, and yet this sign is charging in dollars... Shame on you, you native English speakers, you! I mean, we all get hungry sometimes, but hopefully not *that* hungry :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks, Avigdor! And here's hoping to see all of you again soon, at my next short post :) All the best to you in the meantime!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-29507750382973969082015-01-07T15:20:00.003+02:002015-01-07T15:20:50.332+02:00Snow Day!<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Welcome back, everyone! Here in Gush Etzion we have been blessed with a snow day, and the promise of many more to come. What could be a better opportunity for me to fill your need for funny signs? For example, this has been all over facebook (thanks so much Naomi, Rachelle and Sima!) - apparently it was taken a few years ago, in Jerusalem's <i>Machane Yehuda</i> market:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1BAdHUABgWs/VKztkeb7nyI/AAAAAAAAI-o/otU5pFiZqHc/s1600/municipality.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1BAdHUABgWs/VKztkeb7nyI/AAAAAAAAI-o/otU5pFiZqHc/s1600/municipality.jpg" height="298" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For those of you who understand Hebrew, that might take a second, and then you'll slap your forehead, unbelieving. For those who don't, I don't even know how to begin to explain this... but yes, it's clearly a mistake. Unless you'd like a side order of government with your salad, I suppose...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />And here's another one found for me by that same, wonderful Sima:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SDSjZdKbS_o/VKz5HXjOHNI/AAAAAAAAI-4/BazWJWXI-VM/s1600/herpes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SDSjZdKbS_o/VKz5HXjOHNI/AAAAAAAAI-4/BazWJWXI-VM/s1600/herpes.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I don't know how to read Arabic, but after asking around on facebook, my cool friend Elka told us that it meant to say "Rice with Herbs." Naturally. Sima's original comment made me laugh out loud: What's the main dish? Meatballs with ebola?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway... on to older posts:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Back in the day, my husband Dave found this on facebook, photographed and posted by Ilana Brown, in Jerusalem's Mamilla Mall. Shortly after, it was sent to me by two other friends, Gidon and Jeff. Thanks so much to all of you! Even after all these years of blogging, I'm simultaneously honored and entertained that when people see God-awful typos, they think of me. Anyway, his one is really for the books:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aXxuw_lqvAw/VK0eGxKtSKI/AAAAAAAAI_I/UKXsEp_w5Vk/s1600/sweat%2Bcakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aXxuw_lqvAw/VK0eGxKtSKI/AAAAAAAAI_I/UKXsEp_w5Vk/s1600/sweat%2Bcakes.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Right?? Clearly they were going for "sweet," um, at least we hope so. That would be a bit more appetizing. Truly a pity that they couldn't find any English speakers in Jerusalem to consult, before printing these gigantic banners and hanging them all over the place...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's a great one from our good friend Ricky, who found this on the menu at Waffle bar, also in Jerusalem:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vwj8Ugrfsro/VK0inQMAS6I/AAAAAAAAI_c/ygmwTf8bYpw/s1600/weitor-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vwj8Ugrfsro/VK0inQMAS6I/AAAAAAAAI_c/ygmwTf8bYpw/s1600/weitor-.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Somehow this makes me feel like the waiter has been working out, and lifting weights, or something. Still, I think someone needs to ask an editor, before we can ask the weitor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My always-online-Dave found this fantastic menu for me, originally found by <a href="http://www.funjoelsisrael.com/">Joel Haber</a>. Let's give these guys the benefit of the doubt, and assume that the line with <i>No Alimonena</i> was created using Google Translate:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DEOOgx0SVpo/VK0ngrTJRhI/AAAAAAAAI_s/HMnkqosEiHA/s1600/alimonena.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DEOOgx0SVpo/VK0ngrTJRhI/AAAAAAAAI_s/HMnkqosEiHA/s1600/alimonena.png" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a twofold mistake: the <i>no</i> part is the <i>shoom</i> in Hebrew - shoom can mean either garlic, or none, which often leads to funny mistranslations. Since I moved here I've been making the joke that <i>Shoom Shamir</i> (Garlic-Dill) can be translated as "Nope, there's no dill in there." It's a cute joke, but still not terribly professional to hang on a wall... Anyway, the second part is <i>limonana</i>, which is a recent, kind of slangy Hebrew term used to combine <i>Limon</i> (lemon) and <i>Nana</i> (spearmint). That's usually a drink, not a sauce, but that's a whole different judgement call. Anyway, clearly the author of this sign was confused by how to translate this, and figured transliterating would be just as good. As long as there's some English lettering up there, it's fine, no one really reads it anyway, right? :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was found in a hotel in Eilat, by an online friend of mine who asked to stay anonymous. So mysterious of her, right?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pVPIzf_MmOs/VK0vcOXSceI/AAAAAAAAI_8/VmCzrmsSXOE/s1600/dragstore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pVPIzf_MmOs/VK0vcOXSceI/AAAAAAAAI_8/VmCzrmsSXOE/s1600/dragstore.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They're so progressive in Eilat :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And one more today, from our cousin Lisa, who found this gem!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4SlQtAcvN4s/VK0xXLo6VNI/AAAAAAAAJAI/Y9AMPRPI5Fk/s1600/lisa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4SlQtAcvN4s/VK0xXLo6VNI/AAAAAAAAJAI/Y9AMPRPI5Fk/s1600/lisa.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ah, what a great finale :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have a wonderful winter, all of you, whether you're home today or not. Hopefully I'll back soon with more of these. Stay warm in the meantime!</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-36842603944751897152014-11-25T23:55:00.003+02:002014-11-25T23:55:33.161+02:00The latest mix...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Winter is upon us, and there's nothing like some funny signs to go with your hot cocoa. I'm still pulling things out from my 2011-2012 emails, believe it or not... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First up today: this gem, found by Micha. Perhaps it's some kind of pet control device? Are dogrings available as well?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TcH6JHt7Xao/VHTvjh3dLbI/AAAAAAAAI0Q/1YvLObfhR_A/s1600/catring.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TcH6JHt7Xao/VHTvjh3dLbI/AAAAAAAAI0Q/1YvLObfhR_A/s1600/catring.JPG" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks, Micha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's a bizarre sign that <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">Dave</a> found, directed at any characters who wanted to park in this lot:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-79Fh66uQpHQ/VHTv-Uzl7FI/AAAAAAAAI0Y/6sxZKBMJaj8/s1600/characters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-79Fh66uQpHQ/VHTv-Uzl7FI/AAAAAAAAI0Y/6sxZKBMJaj8/s1600/characters.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But how do they judge your character? Seems pretty complicated to me. Thanks, Dave!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Looking through those old emails, it appears that the city of Modi'in was having a particularly hard time with English back in early 2012. First, this was found, by our friend Ari:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U4oHir_obHw/VHTw9xYlgDI/AAAAAAAAI0k/XEa3kjn6wiA/s1600/modiin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U4oHir_obHw/VHTw9xYlgDI/AAAAAAAAI0k/XEa3kjn6wiA/s1600/modiin.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Huh? What? But before we could spend much effort trying to decipher that one, this was found elsewhere in the same city by my friend <a href="http://tiptippa.wordpress.com/">Rachel</a>!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gb5CsnpmY0I/VHTxRTFcBqI/AAAAAAAAI0s/wnd4bh6K1Pg/s1600/modiin2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gb5CsnpmY0I/VHTxRTFcBqI/AAAAAAAAI0s/wnd4bh6K1Pg/s1600/modiin2.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And just at the same time, my friend Dena found this on Anglodeals - also in Modi'in! Truly bizarre, I hope things have improved since :)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mZmtUA8Njxg/VHTyDv61hYI/AAAAAAAAI00/P6NRVaTiFYE/s1600/blubbery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mZmtUA8Njxg/VHTyDv61hYI/AAAAAAAAI00/P6NRVaTiFYE/s1600/blubbery.jpg" height="131" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Evidently that was meant to be blueberry... Thanks, Ari, Rach and Dena!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh - one more from the archives, before we move on - here's this strange, strange translation, found by our friend Aaron, while riding the train:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R5GC2aEqvvM/VHTzDLgkt3I/AAAAAAAAI08/SZPF3DzMs7o/s1600/leaf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R5GC2aEqvvM/VHTzDLgkt3I/AAAAAAAAI08/SZPF3DzMs7o/s1600/leaf.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Just to make it clear, the direct translation here is: </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In Case of Emergency! Pull the handle, </span></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wait for the train to stop,</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Move the door sideways to open.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Penalty for misuse.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So - huh? How did they get to pushing leaves?? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks, Aaron!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And now, for some more recent finds :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My virtual friend Dina found this in the Be'er Sheva train station:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZ-Se5s2EYs/VHT1jzKQdUI/AAAAAAAAI1M/YloCFVqzACA/s1600/2014-09-16%2B08.57.52.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZ-Se5s2EYs/VHT1jzKQdUI/AAAAAAAAI1M/YloCFVqzACA/s1600/2014-09-16%2B08.57.52.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0rCBCezekg/VHT1j888wWI/AAAAAAAAI1I/91B1NvdhSL0/s1600/2014-09-16%2B08.57.52-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0rCBCezekg/VHT1j888wWI/AAAAAAAAI1I/91B1NvdhSL0/s1600/2014-09-16%2B08.57.52-.jpg" height="400" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's a cute translation - somehow I've got images of trains wearing sneakers in my head now :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My friend Brie shared this gorgeous, gorgeous typo on facebook this afternoon:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cahKYdy5_ho/VHT2W0YjizI/AAAAAAAAI1Y/Npa1X79IQ9w/s1600/surf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cahKYdy5_ho/VHT2W0YjizI/AAAAAAAAI1Y/Npa1X79IQ9w/s1600/surf.jpg" height="640" width="476" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This one will be funnier for Hebrew speakers. The word for surf in Hebrew has the root G-L-SH, which is similar enough to <i>goulash,</i> apparently, to cause this ridiculous situation :) Thanks, Brie!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And last but certainly not least, for today: my friend Naomi found this and shared it with me moments before I happened to be headed to the grocery store, so naturally, when I got there, I searched it out and grabbed a photo :)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-63PW9JZdb4A/VHT3nG-l-iI/AAAAAAAAI1g/QXx2Ak_NGKg/s1600/IMG_20141125_180519899.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-63PW9JZdb4A/VHT3nG-l-iI/AAAAAAAAI1g/QXx2Ak_NGKg/s1600/IMG_20141125_180519899.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's hard enough for people who move here to get used to saying <i>soup almonds </i>instead of <i>soup nuts</i>, now we've got <i>soap nuts</i>? Maybe it's just me, but that does not sound appetizing. The world has just gone mad, that's all I can say :) Thanks so much, Naomi!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's all for now, folks! As always, I'm sharing this with Lesley, over at her weekly meme, called <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.co.il/">Signs, Signs</a>. Oh, and a quick public service message - my brother has started a really funny and quite delicious blog, called <a href="http://awesomesaucekitchen.blogspot.co.il/">The Awesome Sauce Kitchen</a>. He's off to a great start - go and check him out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy Thanksgiving to all, and here's hoping for a wet winter here in Israel - see you again soon!</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-48126987315812192252014-10-02T08:10:00.002+03:002014-10-22T09:10:34.567+03:00Happy New Year!<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well, we're in between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kipur, that special time of year where we try to act on our best behavior, in order to convince God that we're worthy of living another year. And how better to do that than by posting more funny signs? Not only will I fulfill my promise to post every two weeks or so, I also get to amuse the masses at the same time. Buckle up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First in line today: this is something that I actually posted this week on <a href="http://iwishiwereaphotographer.blogspot.com/">my pretty photoblog</a>. My family and I found it on all the lawns in front of Buckingham Palace, on our brief layover there, this past summer: </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpvbSu4s39s/VCsC_mnV50I/AAAAAAAAIbA/YMgi78nBZ-0/s1600/P1070372.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpvbSu4s39s/VCsC_mnV50I/AAAAAAAAIbA/YMgi78nBZ-0/s1600/P1070372.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At first we were surprised at the typo - not only in England, the land of proper English, but around the actual palace, seemingly a highly important, much seen area. And then it occurred to me that perhaps this is a British expression? Like "take care of the grass," you know, that kind of thing. I was so pleased to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm sorry to say that all the British people I've asked confirmed that this is indeed a blooper. Oh, well. Then again, if they can do it, I don't need to feel as badly when Israelis do things like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jyoSjs0F-_E/VCsICUcNhkI/AAAAAAAAIbQ/stujuFqZXL4/s1600/10706356_10152674268066068_1628751372_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jyoSjs0F-_E/VCsICUcNhkI/AAAAAAAAIbQ/stujuFqZXL4/s1600/10706356_10152674268066068_1628751372_n.jpg" height="298" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That brilliant one was spotted by my ever-alert husband on Facebook - it was posted by Avi Shekhtman. Thanks so much, Avi, for letting me use this! I'll be sure to keep my popcorn away from your face :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's something that Yonina found a few years ago - particularly appropriate for our upcoming Yom Kipur:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9UHRIILPK7M/VCzW1veHqfI/AAAAAAAAIbs/_NEB0FASVmo/s1600/yonina.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9UHRIILPK7M/VCzW1veHqfI/AAAAAAAAIbs/_NEB0FASVmo/s1600/yonina.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">During the year, that makes a little less sense - this water is confused. Are you prohibited, or for drinking? Thanks, Yonina!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you're feeling topsy turvy, you're not the only one - here's a gem found by Deena, quite a while ago, in Malcha:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e5q40jVfxR8/VCzXKcmCw4I/AAAAAAAAIb0/PUHIhM1OJdY/s1600/deena.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e5q40jVfxR8/VCzXKcmCw4I/AAAAAAAAIb0/PUHIhM1OJdY/s1600/deena.jpg" height="640" width="384" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Even sadder - Deena pointed out that technically, the "up" there could be read "dn," leading to this ridiculous situation. Is that an excuse? Well, we'll forgive them, 'tis the season :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's something that would get me to walk in the door - I'd do almost anything to be considered cool:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ByuX_lzlXTc/VCzXoBysvYI/AAAAAAAAIb8/nVD2s4_rIhk/s1600/debbie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ByuX_lzlXTc/VCzXoBysvYI/AAAAAAAAIb8/nVD2s4_rIhk/s1600/debbie.jpg" height="640" width="472" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That one was from Debbie, who found it on Kanfei Nesharim, in Jerusalem. And my good friend Dena pointed out that the apostrophe in the Hebrew is in the wrong place, too - I knew something looked wonky over there :) Thanks, Debbie and Dena!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And as a finale, here's something I found at Hadassah's Mount Scopus hospital, just yesterday:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ROmQZLGPzc/VCzbUfAdePI/AAAAAAAAIcI/KvOb8sgptKU/s1600/hadassah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ROmQZLGPzc/VCzbUfAdePI/AAAAAAAAIcI/KvOb8sgptKU/s1600/hadassah.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">All of us who have tried typing documents in both Hebrew and English know that it's tricky to get the words to line up - sometimes they slide over inexplicably, and it's a little challenging to get it right. But - it can be done! And this is not a random document, it's a proper sign, paid for and hung all over the hospital! Really a pity that they couldn't afford a proofreader; I guess the cutbacks at Hadassah this past year went further than I had thought :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's it for now - thanks for dropping by! As always, I'll link to Lesley's blog, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.co.il/">Signs, Signs</a>. Here's to a wonderful New Year, and a meaningful, effective Yom Kipur to us all!</span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm going to open with this one that I found about a month ago - it actually shocked me. This is on the road from Gush Etsion, where I live, to Jerusalem. I've lived here since the summer of 2000. It *must* be a new sign, right? There's *no way* that it's been here this whole time, and I didn't notice? Here's hoping...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sQKNeF9JNgk/VBIV3stwPMI/AAAAAAAAITc/Wvub0UmA-iw/s1600/P1070926.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sQKNeF9JNgk/VBIV3stwPMI/AAAAAAAAITc/Wvub0UmA-iw/s1600/P1070926.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a sign that I found back in - gulp - 2011! So nice, they wrote it twice:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9LqfZRA1Nb4/VBIad_lpc_I/AAAAAAAAITk/XDqFvTunz9w/s1600/11032011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9LqfZRA1Nb4/VBIad_lpc_I/AAAAAAAAITk/XDqFvTunz9w/s1600/11032011.jpg" height="299" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's something that our friend Raffi found, many years ago. They may have been going for cheapness, but personally, I'd call this priceless :)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otN5A8BaRcs/VBIbSzlmk1I/AAAAAAAAITs/YRkvb2T8Z0w/s1600/002223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otN5A8BaRcs/VBIbSzlmk1I/AAAAAAAAITs/YRkvb2T8Z0w/s1600/002223.JPG" height="270" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's something that our cousins Mark and Pat found a few years ago, when here in Israel for a visit. They were impressed, as was I, with the spaciousness of the mayonnaise:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-naqMLLPykmY/VBIcIxfg_PI/AAAAAAAAIT0/HAaserP81IQ/s1600/P1020861.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-naqMLLPykmY/VBIcIxfg_PI/AAAAAAAAIT0/HAaserP81IQ/s1600/P1020861.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's something that my dear Dave found at a takeout place that used to exist, here in Efrat:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bZr7TpbGHy8/VBIdHiPt7wI/AAAAAAAAIT8/goliWScZXjs/s1600/19082011161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bZr7TpbGHy8/VBIdHiPt7wI/AAAAAAAAIT8/goliWScZXjs/s1600/19082011161.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That one is funny on a couple of levels - the "staffed" instead of "stuffed" is amusing, but the fact that they had no energy to write "grape leaves, onions, and cabbage" and just settled on "things" borders on hilarious :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And last for today, this was spotted by <a href="http://apinnick.wordpress.com/">Avital</a>, a virtual friend of mine, who found it on the side of an Israeli garbage truck. Shame that they decided to skip the Hebrew altogether, I suppose they figured it's modern and cool to do English only - and what impressive English!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i3vP2mehW_Y/VBIhNtLYczI/AAAAAAAAIUE/uvprWSZc9MU/s1600/avital.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i3vP2mehW_Y/VBIhNtLYczI/AAAAAAAAIUE/uvprWSZc9MU/s1600/avital.jpg" height="377" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's it for today, folks! Thanks for coming by - have a wonderful weekend!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh, and naturally I'll post this to Lesley's meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. How can I resist? :)</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-8599243918198348572014-08-27T22:44:00.000+03:002014-08-27T22:45:04.762+03:00I remember back when I had a blog about funny signs...<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">ah, those were the days :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First, I was just plain busy, and couldn't find the time. Then there was a war. Then I got busy again, and now there's been a whole other war! But through it all, people actually still send me funny typos and signs pretty often, and at this point, I have a backlog of a few years worth of material. So I figured, even if I don't have time to write proper posts, full of wit and cleverness, it's just a shame not to share these gems with you. Don't you agree? Quick, let's go, before there's another war...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With no further ado - here's a tiny sampling of what I have waiting for you. These are just the most recent ones that I have sitting in my inbox! My hope is to post this tonight, and then start blogging every other week. I've learned better than to make promises, but I'll really do the best I can! Thanks to all of you who haven't given up on me in the meantime, and still think of me when you see gigantic mistakes. I never could decide if that was a compliment or not :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First up, from Michael Shore - this one is actually kind of poignant:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ve_sInBPjpU/U_4m3xQRGdI/AAAAAAAAIMk/HRo6B_bufHk/s1600/embassy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ve_sInBPjpU/U_4m3xQRGdI/AAAAAAAAIMk/HRo6B_bufHk/s1600/embassy.jpg" height="297" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's an amazing one from Bruce Zivan. Hebrew speakers, see if you can figure them all out! It took me a little while... I find it perfect that they saved the best for last :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a fabulous find from my <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">dearmost Dave</a> - the bloody beans seem to me to be the absolute best here, but there are an awful lot of things to chuckle at. Actually, looking at it again, there's almost nothing here that doesn't need a good fixing:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's a beauty from Brie Reich. This one is so basic and wonderful - it actually makes me feel like I could do this for the rest of my life and never run out of things to post :) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's something that was sent to me by <a href="http://www.rememberjerusalem.blogspot.com/">Sharon</a>, although she told me that photo credit goes to <span class="gmail_sendername">Riki Freudenstein. Sharon pointed out that the bear on the label matches the fur very nicely (although a brown bear would be even better!), and that even the Hebrew doesn't make too much sense. It could easily be read as "70% Pareve" which begs the question: is the other 30% meat or dairy?</span></span><br />

I had finally found some free time, and then we suddenly were in the middle of a war, and it seemed a wee bit inappropriate. And then, just as suddenly, the war was over! Maybe. And then it was Chanuka... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well, there will always be things going on that seem more important that blogging, and maybe they are. But today was my birthday! And so I've decided to give myself a gift of 12 minutes to write a post. Here, from me to you, are some (really old) typos from the Holy Land. Get ready! But remember, these were sent to me back in 2011... I do hope to catch up on all of my old material soon, so we can move on to some current items! Fortunately, these don't spoil with time :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First up, as seen on the Modiin-chat list, courtesy of my best friend <a href="http://tiptippa.wordpress.com/">Rach</a>. Just out of curiosity, how many months does your baby have? And - am I the only one here made a little bit nervous by the initial MUMMY!!!!!! shriek here? Are we being alerted to a monster attack?</span><br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bCeyU5-kO2Q/UM0HtDiOrbI/AAAAAAAAF34/ZkIPaC6OufI/s1600/hide.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bCeyU5-kO2Q/UM0HtDiOrbI/AAAAAAAAF34/ZkIPaC6OufI/s640/hide.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I think that they were going for "hideaway." I'm not even sure how I would have better translated this sign, but this option clearly does not work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And last but not least (since this has surprisingly taken a few more than my self-allotted 12 minutes) here's one more from Dave. He really was on a roll back in 2011:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Okay, so for those of you unfamiliar with the Hebrew here, the word <i>bad</i> (pronounced bod) means cloth. This is a textiles shop. But their version seems to be a deep statement about our world, don't you think? Good be good, and bad, well, bad be bad. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As always, I'll be linking on Wednesday to Lesley's fun meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. Go check it out, if you'd like a well-rounded view of the world through signage :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's all for now, folks. Have a great day! Hope to see you back here soon! </span></span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-10806629840220600922012-07-30T09:16:00.000+03:002012-07-30T09:19:03.129+03:00I'm back!<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Here's hoping it goes better than this:<br />

<br />
Hello, hello! It's been too long, I know :) How are you all doing, my fine readers?</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I've wanted to post for so long, and life has just been getting the better of me - but a few people recently sent me all sorts of funny things, and I decided that that's that. That that's that? Yes! And so, I've decided to jump back into my old blogger self. Here goes!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
First up, from my friend Rach and her boss Nathan: the very latest in ice cold summer treats. But wait a second - I should preface by mentioning that here in Israel, we have an issue with <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">crêpe</span>s</span>. By that I mean that generally, printed Hebrew has no vowels, and so the word <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">crêpe</span></span> often looks blatantly to be, well, crap. (A great example of this can be seen at the end of <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.co.il/2011/06/little-help-from-my-friends-once-again.html">this post</a>.) This technically is no one's fault, it's not deliberate, and not terribly avoidable, but still quite funny to most English speakers. Anyway, with that in mind: Rach was driving to work one morning, and found that evidently, the new summer special at cafe Ilan is none other than - get ready for it - Crappaccino!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ATzjHIwGwz4/UBHWVutf23I/AAAAAAAAFYY/ahn7hQOrIPM/s1600/crappaccino.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ATzjHIwGwz4/UBHWVutf23I/AAAAAAAAFYY/ahn7hQOrIPM/s400/crappaccino.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Feel free to click on this, if you'd like a closer view! Nathan pointed out that since the little circle says "only natural ingredients, we should be relieved... or should we?</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Thanks, guys!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Next up, this one is from our friend Yonina, who got it from her friend Naava. Here's a great example of our classic Israeli blooper:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6SrWPOu3V0/UBHYbxPTz1I/AAAAAAAAFYg/Tk30bI3C7S4/s1600/stemps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6SrWPOu3V0/UBHYbxPTz1I/AAAAAAAAFYg/Tk30bI3C7S4/s400/stemps.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This is a flyer that was printed by Israelis, for Israelis. They didn't need to write the word stamps, there's a perfectly good word for stamps, <i>chotamot</i>, and it's right there on the flyer, next to this atrocity. So why did they decide to translate this one word? I think it's because the running theory has always been that if it's got some English on it, it looks cool and professional, worldly even. And why didn't they think to check their spelling with a dictionary, or an English speaking friend, or just plain old Google? This flyer is from Beit Shemesh, Lord knows there are one or two English speakers there... but why? Because there's just no need, everyone here knows perfect English already, it's so easy...</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Fantastic find - thanks so much, Yonina and Naava!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Next up, from my friend Yair, at work. This is actually a sign that I had heard about from a few people in my neighborhood - it appeared very briefly not far from my house during some road work, over a year ago. By the time I got to the scene, it had already been taken down. But apparently Yair got there in time! Check this out - but again, this blooper is in the Hebrew:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H46JOqoLKp0/UBHcKb3QqbI/AAAAAAAAFYs/UYFX9_lgMNU/s1600/bumpy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H46JOqoLKp0/UBHcKb3QqbI/AAAAAAAAFYs/UYFX9_lgMNU/s400/bumpy.jpg" width="328" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
For those of you who can't read Hebrew, the "bumpy" here has been transliterated, instead of translated. This is really absurd, and I was a bit perplexed as to how it had happened, until Yair enlightened me - he said that the Arabic here is perfect, and so it's obvious (to him, at least) that the guy making the sign spoke Arabic and English, but not Hebrew... and so he wrote <i>HaKvish Bahmpy</i>, figuring that it would work out. Interesting, right? Like I said, it was only up for a couple of days before it was taken down...</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Thanks, Yair!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And lastly, here's something that I happened across today while waiting in line in the pharmacy. Now it's true, I don't much care for bananas, so maybe that's why this seems so unappealing to me. What do you all think? Is it just me?</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xakxAHgko8Y/UBHgoXmzFsI/AAAAAAAAFY4/MzYKaBmDyOU/s1600/lips.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xakxAHgko8Y/UBHgoXmzFsI/AAAAAAAAFY4/MzYKaBmDyOU/s400/lips.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Yuck!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
That's all for now, folks! I hereby promise to try and post more than once every five months. And thanks to all of you who have been sending me photos this whole time! I really do appreciate it, and hope to post them, speedily in our days!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Have a great day all,</div>

What's a funny title with the word saloon?<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Hello, all of you! How have you been? </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Before we get to the funny signs, I just have to thank Mirj from <a href="http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/">Miriyummy</a>, who interviewed me and made me totally famous! I'm just so honored and excited! For anyone who hasn't yet seen the interview, it's right <a href="http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/chatting-with-miriyummy-toby-curwin/">here</a>. Thanks so much, Mirj!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And so, it's fitting that we begin with these signs, that Mirj herself found, quite a few months ago. She came across them while in a restaurant in Jaffa, and was kind enough to send them on to me. Wowee, buckle up:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfhRTHF8uYw/T0VjJbwgdMI/AAAAAAAAEmw/qdzX7-Q9c88/s1600/chicken.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfhRTHF8uYw/T0VjJbwgdMI/AAAAAAAAEmw/qdzX7-Q9c88/s400/chicken.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gxRVFi94ZMQ/T0VjKre7rUI/AAAAAAAAEm4/7a3rmut-07I/s1600/mus.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gxRVFi94ZMQ/T0VjKre7rUI/AAAAAAAAEm4/7a3rmut-07I/s400/mus.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Mirj told me that she resisted ordering the mus :)<br />
<br />
We once found ourselves in a sushi restaurant that spelled the word wine three different ways on the same menu, but they were scattered around in different locations on the menu - these versions of chicken are so close to each other, it seems somehow even worse. And look at all the rest! Why am I suddenly thinking of IAMS, isn't that a brand of dog food? I have a very bad feeling that the lamb is spelled that way because someone accidentally hit caps lock... oy oy oy.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Thanks so much for these gems!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Next up, from my good buddy <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">Dave</a>, who found this while walking around Jerusalem:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EJqKiD8rhTU/T0VkzKpFfFI/AAAAAAAAEnA/OX3dgTv6jxA/s1600/crem.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EJqKiD8rhTU/T0VkzKpFfFI/AAAAAAAAEnA/OX3dgTv6jxA/s400/crem.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I really wish people would stop making fun of Americans. I personally am going to do my part by posting this, and not saying a word :)<br />
<br />
Thanks, Dave!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Third up for the day, this just in from new Olah Rachel B, who kindly forwarded this funky potty package to me:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lAtYgjU2Q04/T0VmRj-KyyI/AAAAAAAAEnI/g0l59RX_5eA/s1600/potty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lAtYgjU2Q04/T0VmRj-KyyI/AAAAAAAAEnI/g0l59RX_5eA/s640/potty.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
There's so much to say here, I don't know where to begin. I like how we're encouraged to try it out, as if we should open it up in the store aisle and see how it feels. I like that this company is abreast of the times! I like that Closestool rhymes with Playskool. And on and on and on... Thanks so much, Rachel! Sorry it took so long to post, and I hope you'll send more awesome bloopers when you find them! Note that I didn't say <i>if</i> you find them... :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Here's an amazing amazing flyer sent in to me by Dana, another first-time submitter. This is just wonderful, get ready!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8syIuueP6To/T0VoYyJKHJI/AAAAAAAAEnQ/CN3K7VbJ4Og/s1600/singles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8syIuueP6To/T0VoYyJKHJI/AAAAAAAAEnQ/CN3K7VbJ4Og/s640/singles.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Wow! There are so many funny things here, although my favorite is definitely the groping singles. I wonder if their new assistant will be able to help them out with proofreading?<br />
<br />
Thanks, Dana!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And lastly, why am I posting today, of all days? Because when I picked up the mail this evening, I found this, and decided that I could wait no longer:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zsDjUwac5A8/T0VtYEehZjI/AAAAAAAAEno/a4BL_1N5lgo/s1600/P1010971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zsDjUwac5A8/T0VtYEehZjI/AAAAAAAAEno/a4BL_1N5lgo/s320/P1010971.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I saw this and started laughing out loud. My family thought that I was a little bit crazy. And then I saw that there was an accompanying magnet, with the same thing that had just cracked me up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1MraJ4O3dY/T0Vtnr5ogPI/AAAAAAAAEnw/umx1iQm8pZM/s1600/P1010972.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1MraJ4O3dY/T0Vtnr5ogPI/AAAAAAAAEnw/umx1iQm8pZM/s320/P1010972.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Do you see it? Do you see it? That bit about the saloon? Oh, man, there's just no end - I've got cowboys with curlers in my head now...<br />
<br />
Naturally, I'm posting this to <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>, Lesley's fun meme. Go on over there, if you'd like to see more signage from all over the world, most more elegant and artistic than mine :)<br />

Have a wonderful week, everyone - thanks for stopping by!</div>

<br />
I miss this blog! I just stopped by to quickly post this gem that Rachel sent me, a long time ago. And as for the rest of you who were kind enough to send me something a long time ago, please don't give up hope! It's all saved and lined up to be shared, any second now... I really do appreciate all the wonderful things that you find for me and take the time to send! It's just that sometimes my real-life life gets the better of my fun-online-life :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Anyway, on to the good stuff! Check this out:<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
It took me a couple of times to read through and find all the funny things in there. But there are a bunch - take a look! Which is your favorite? I like the idea that they expect you to launder a suit in this 40x50 centimeter bag, but I'm also quite attached to those sthocking underwears. Underwears! </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Definitely my 21th favorite is trying to pronounce 21th :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Thanks, Rachel! And thanks all of you for coming by - I'll try to post again soon!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

Even before my eldest daughter was born on the first night of Chanuka, I think that it always was my favorite holiday. I mean, how wrong can you go when fried potatoes are your flagship food? Mmm, mm.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, I found myself a spare minute, so I'd like to quickly share two wonderful holiday bloopers. First up, this absolutely unbelievable one, from my good friend Dena!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qx5SU1i6bs0/TvEcj_quXZI/AAAAAAAAEdk/dC_tg42me9g/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qx5SU1i6bs0/TvEcj_quXZI/AAAAAAAAEdk/dC_tg42me9g/s400/photo.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That can't be real - they must be taking the mickey out of us :) I've lived here for almost half my life, but some things still shock me. This, for example! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks so much, Dena!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And, sent in completely separately by her son Micha, here's another excellent holiday specimen:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Erm... it may be extraordinarily priced, but yeah, I think I'll pass on that dreidel.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks, Micha!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fantastic finds, both! Have a wonderful, wonderful Chanuka, everyone! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh, and of course I'll post this to Lesley's weekly meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. See you there!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-33375862347436397392011-12-05T02:26:00.001+02:002011-12-05T03:16:37.109+02:00A little more catching up<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well well, it's been a while! Time is flying by, Chanuka is almost upon us, but it's important to stop every so often and make time for some ridiculous signs. And we are blessed with lots of them! For example....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.balashon.com/">Dave</a> found this one for me, can you see it? Feel free to click on the photo, if you'd like a closer view:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D5uBz_ggHVo/TtwQo4t5HDI/AAAAAAAAEZc/ZrYfbrLjvFM/s1600/rootbear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D5uBz_ggHVo/TtwQo4t5HDI/AAAAAAAAEZc/ZrYfbrLjvFM/s400/rootbear.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like mash potatoes, but I *love* root beer! Oh, but wait, this isn't exactly root beer - what does that say? And anyway, after living here for as long as I have, I know that they're just teasing me. Black Beer, as this would be directly translated from the Hebrew, has nothing to do with Root Beer at all. It's some kind of malt thing, in an entirely different beverage category. Ah, what I wouldn't give for a root beer float! My birthday is coming up, people...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dave also grabbed this one, while walking through Jerusalem:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6yTvdbTXGTU/TtwSaPE3C1I/AAAAAAAAEZk/2q_N1CKdfnU/s1600/friuts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6yTvdbTXGTU/TtwSaPE3C1I/AAAAAAAAEZk/2q_N1CKdfnU/s400/friuts.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is just a typo, it doesn't have any particularly ridiculous alternate meanings, but it's the size of the thing that gets me. This sign is taller than I am - it cost someone an awful lot of money! You'd think that they'd want to just check once that it didn't have any mistakes, wouldn't you? No, I guess not. I mean, no one really reads the English anyway, right? It's just for show... and to give me blogging material! Thanks, Dave!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next up, this one is from Gidon:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hjDp_vizu1E/TtwTW_-8PtI/AAAAAAAAEZs/kUpD2Cqz-6A/s1600/hanetzuv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hjDp_vizu1E/TtwTW_-8PtI/AAAAAAAAEZs/kUpD2Cqz-6A/s320/hanetzuv.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one might not seem funny to those of you who aren't familiar with religious Jewish studies, but for the rest of us, it's just absurd. This sign says "HaNetziv" in Hebrew. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naftali_Zvi_Yehuda_Berlin">Netziv</a> was a brilliant scholar, and well deserving of having his name on a street or two, not to mention <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ein_HaNatziv">a Kibbutz</a>! And yet, in the one country in the world that should recognize his name, they went and called him the Netzuv. Sheesh. Thanks for bringing this one, Gidon!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one was found for me by two separate friends, Yaffa and Meira. It's really nutty, buckle up:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3o_aWfCsxlM/TtwWKIM9GjI/AAAAAAAAEZ0/lmh3Mf_uYlk/s1600/blowing+glass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3o_aWfCsxlM/TtwWKIM9GjI/AAAAAAAAEZ0/lmh3Mf_uYlk/s640/blowing+glass.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't even know where to start with this one. Well, I guess we can start at the beginning - perhaps they were trying to say <i>mind blowing</i>? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">:)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one borders on being as bad as those signs that people find in China. Unbelievable! I whish I had more of them... Thanks, Yaffa and Meira!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's one that our friend Nizan found:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n7wAIYt15WY/TtwW-CeMvmI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/6WIWoFTgfjA/s1600/sigarettes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n7wAIYt15WY/TtwW-CeMvmI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/6WIWoFTgfjA/s400/sigarettes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In related news, I'm pretty sure that these machines are on their way to becoming illegal, so one way or another, the government is stepping in to remove this ridiculous typo from our streets! Thank you, Bibi! And thanks, Nizan!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A long, long time ago, <a href="http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/">Mirj</a> found <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2008/04/this-just-in-from-raanana.html">a huge typo</a> for me in Raanana. At the time, we thought it was just silly - but now I'm thinking that it's possible that it's just how they spell <i>coming</i> in Raanana - maybe it's actually a dialect thing?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4qxzfDowcKE/TtwYDe9kf_I/AAAAAAAAEaE/7zZ-XDL-Hww/s1600/comming2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4qxzfDowcKE/TtwYDe9kf_I/AAAAAAAAEaE/7zZ-XDL-Hww/s400/comming2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks, Mirj!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And last for now, here's something I found right here, on our local Efrat-chat list:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ah, that's the stuff. I've got nothing to add, folks - just have a great day, my treat! And a happy holiday season to all of us!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh, and for more interesting signage from all over the world, feel free to check out Lesley's blog, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. You'll be glad you went!</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-33409316964840089862011-10-30T01:09:00.000+02:002011-10-30T01:13:29.326+02:00Funny Signs Before You<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, we're all settling back into life here in Israel. That fabled time of the year called <i>acharei hachagim</i> (after the Holidays) has descended upon us, and we're expected to begin living productive lives once again. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And so I thought I'd carry on sharing some treasures with you that have been building up in my inbox, just waiting anxiously to be posted. Thanks to all my faithful spies, who found these for me all over the country! Let's start with this one from <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/search?q=yoel">Yoel</a>, who found this sign in Jerusalem:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RhncCsJVoYk/Tqx_iEgc7RI/AAAAAAAAEPw/P2UcSPv78J4/s1600/signlawyer-censored.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="70" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RhncCsJVoYk/Tqx_iEgc7RI/AAAAAAAAEPw/P2UcSPv78J4/s400/signlawyer-censored.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I sneakily blocked out the name here, so as not to further embarrass this person of great importance. If you're looking for a rabinical lowyer, he's your guy! It doesn't get any lower than this, folks. Contact Yoel if you need more information :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next up, from <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/search?q=micha">Micha</a>, who has been contributing quite the lion's share of funny signs. Here's one he found in his hotel room in Eilat:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_rZsooFtwWc/TqyBzoaT2_I/AAAAAAAAEQI/hQ9rjWjirTE/s1600/phone.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_rZsooFtwWc/TqyBzoaT2_I/AAAAAAAAEQI/hQ9rjWjirTE/s320/phone.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just read that one more time, carefully... hah! How much does the phone's room usually charge? Is this actually a deal? Thanks, Micha!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's one from my good friend <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/search?q=rachel">Rachel</a>, who found this wonderful piece of cookware:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EG_zWOexJ8E/TqyClFL7WvI/AAAAAAAAEQQ/6TCFIf8xfys/s1600/fried+dish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EG_zWOexJ8E/TqyClFL7WvI/AAAAAAAAEQQ/6TCFIf8xfys/s320/fried+dish.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's amazing! I know that I love a hot bowl of fried dish soup as much as the next guy. And with this pot, I'd never have to wait! I'm just saying, my birthday isn't that far away... thanks, Rach!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And last for now, here's one taken by me! Remember me?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">:)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here in Efrat, we've been blessed with some local road construction. The powers that be took a very dangerous intersection and made it far safer, and although this made getting around quite tricky for awhile, I for one am grateful for the final product. Anyway, these signs can now be seen around our area:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HI14WSG0kKM/TqyEyzaRS6I/AAAAAAAAEQY/k0yRxS6tZ_k/s1600/P1010246.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HI14WSG0kKM/TqyEyzaRS6I/AAAAAAAAEQY/k0yRxS6tZ_k/s320/P1010246.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Before you</i>, do you see that? This is a great example of Heblish, that new language that our children speak so well, and that is helpfully translated for us by Mrs. S., of <a href="http://ourshiputzim.blogspot.com/2011/08/heblish-as-laundry-spins-edition.html">Our Shiputzim</a> fame. This sign doesn't mean <i>before you</i>, it means <i>ahead</i>. But the sign guy doesn't speak English, so how should he know? And anyway, no one really reads the English on these signs anyway, especially not in Gush Etzion, so there's no need to proofread...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ha! What a great week this was! Thanks everyone, for your contributions, and for stopping by! Happy Acharei haChagim to you all!</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-39624760564067898792011-10-11T02:21:00.001+02:002011-10-11T13:20:10.752+02:00Way back when<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In my continuing attempt to catch up, here are some funny signs that were sent to me. How about I just don't tell you how long ago they were sent to me :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Micha, who has found many <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2008/09/tunnel-vision.html">funny</a> <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2011/07/bring-me-some-roasted-egplanet.html">items</a> <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/its-been-too-long.html">for us</a> over the years, has now recruited his grandfather as a new foreign correspondent for <i>A Time of the Signs</i>. Here's a doozy he found for us, all the way in Berlin!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bfv8XI3SlPg/TpOE5nxWh-I/AAAAAAAAEPQ/HeQRZr2GeDI/s1600/weighterJPG.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bfv8XI3SlPg/TpOE5nxWh-I/AAAAAAAAEPQ/HeQRZr2GeDI/s400/weighterJPG.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Micha aptly asked: <i>you mean if we are thin enough to qualify for one?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks for thinking of me, guys!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And lucky me, I have another new foreign correspondent - my dear brother in law <a href="http://www.kangoplay.com/">Andy</a> found this on his printer paper, all the way in Rochester, New York. The small print is important on this one, so feel free to click on the photo if you need to enlarge it!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k2FOVeZf28I/TpOGoEKc4CI/AAAAAAAAEPc/AAX12OzJoYY/s1600/bw.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k2FOVeZf28I/TpOGoEKc4CI/AAAAAAAAEPc/AAX12OzJoYY/s400/bw.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wow, and I thought I was indecisive! Thanks, Andy!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There's an Israeli FAIL bloopers site that I really enjoy called <a href="http://keshel.com/">Keshel</a>. Most of the things they post are funny for Hebrew speakers only, but they found this, and I totally can't resist sharing it with you all! <a href="http://keshel.com/?p=1925">Spotted</a> at the Candyland shop, right here in Israel:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vybbK-xMH50/TpOIIhv0YVI/AAAAAAAAEPg/BV-r-08ooPE/s1600/pralines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vybbK-xMH50/TpOIIhv0YVI/AAAAAAAAEPg/BV-r-08ooPE/s400/pralines.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ah, that's the stuff :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And lastly (for now) my dedicated husband (the <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">Balashon</a>) found this for me while walking through the streets of Jerusalem. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1papLS0aNAs/TpOKtoyPz7I/AAAAAAAAEPk/9n6r7vAOmkY/s1600/menachim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1papLS0aNAs/TpOKtoyPz7I/AAAAAAAAEPk/9n6r7vAOmkY/s400/menachim.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I remember back in grammar school, we were often given English quizzes with poorly built sentences. They were full of capitalization and punctuation errors, and we were supposed to correct them. Truthfully, I haven't thought of those things for years, and yet somehow, looking at this sign, I'm instantly swept 25 years back in time... is it just me?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's all for now, folks - have a great Sukkot! And for those of you not celebrating Sukkot, have a great week anyway!</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-59335715347360322202011-10-02T20:53:00.001+02:002011-10-02T20:53:24.559+02:00It's been too long!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I miss you guys! It's been a long, wonderful summer, but I want to blog again! And so, now that my life has been slowly calming down, I've decided to rearrange my schedule and make time for funny signs once again. Thanks to all of you, my virtual fans, for waiting patiently!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And so, with no further ado - here goes!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you all know <a href="http://jerusalemhillsdailyphoto.blogspot.com/">Dina</a>, my fellow Israeli blogger? She takes beautiful, insightful and interesting photos all around the Jerusalem area - you should check out her blog, if you haven't already! Anyway, she found this excellent, ridiculous specimen in Tel Aviv at the beginning of the summer (see <a href="http://jerusalemhillsdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2011/07/bon-voyage.html">her post</a> for more details):</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AUppfS_aX44/ToisVsZJteI/AAAAAAAAEO0/f831IK3aV7U/s1600/Fair+Grounds%252C+Tel+Aviv_1+p.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AUppfS_aX44/ToisVsZJteI/AAAAAAAAEO0/f831IK3aV7U/s400/Fair+Grounds%252C+Tel+Aviv_1+p.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That really is just gorgeous - what a tremendously fancy typo! I'm pretty sure that even putting bon voyage here is inappropriate - I don't think that people leaving the fair are going on a voyage per se. But they certainly aren't going on a vayage! Thanks for thinking of me, Dina! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">dear husband</a> found this bizarre, bizarre sign for me while walking through Jerusalem. Buckle up:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pkHIPDxeBzg/ToiwwcrzZ8I/AAAAAAAAEO8/eC5IrkmzaSM/s1600/yummy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pkHIPDxeBzg/ToiwwcrzZ8I/AAAAAAAAEO8/eC5IrkmzaSM/s400/yummy.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is it just us? Is yummy really the feeling they're looking to invoke?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And just to make us feel better about Israeli bloopers - Micha found this for me while he was vacationing in New York City! For shame, NYC, for shame...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0cY3_-vlsAY/Toiur-wcY3I/AAAAAAAAEO4/_-9yMdOcdKA/s1600/panyt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0cY3_-vlsAY/Toiur-wcY3I/AAAAAAAAEO4/_-9yMdOcdKA/s320/panyt.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That one's actually a little tricky - do you see it? Good eye, Micha!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks so much, all of you - tune in again soon for more! Shana Tova, everyone - have a sweet and wonderful new year!</span><br />

He went to Pizza Sababa in Jerusalem, and was kind enough to photograph their wonderful, wonderful menu. Take a look for yourselves! (And feel free to click on the photos, if you'd like to enlarge them.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is just so wonderfully entertaining - thank you, Micha! As seen in the title of this post, my definite favorite is the Egplanet - but there are just so many to choose from! And look closely - quite a few of these aren't typos, but just ridiculous mistranslations. Would you like some Home Dough, with a glass of Natural? Ah, I love it - how many bloopers can you find?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As always, I'm posting this to Lesley's meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. Have a great week, everyone!</span><br />

When I first started this blog, almost every one of the bloopers I posted had been found in person by me! But the fact is, having spies all over the country (and world, for that matter) makes this a lot easier. And it creates a sense of community - I feel like I'm giving people who feel the way I do about typos a place to vent :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, one of my very first posts-by-correspondent was from <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2008/04/this-just-in-from-raanana.html">Mirj</a>, who lives in Raanana and has an excellent eye for these things. I'm grateful for all of her help over the years - just search my blog for Mirj, and you'll see that there are quite a few entries :) And she's come through for us again - bigger and better than before. Just look at what she found oozing in the freezer section at her local grocery store!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-woTEN91lRkg/TgK-YgY7AQI/AAAAAAAAELw/Izxn-9pXbyA/s1600/IMG00772-20110222-1211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-woTEN91lRkg/TgK-YgY7AQI/AAAAAAAAELw/Izxn-9pXbyA/s320/IMG00772-20110222-1211.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For those of you who can't read the Hebrew, that was translated from Frozen Goose Ribs. There may be a better way to say Goose Ribs, but I'm fairly sure that it isn't Chest Gooze...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yich! As Mirj so aptly said, this sounds like a phlegmy chest infection. And if the meat is from Belgium, then a Flemmy chest infection... what could I possibly add? Thanks, Mirj!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She now has <a href="http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/">a blog of her own</a> which is far more impressive than mine - it's a fantastic source for great stories and yummy recipes - you should check it out at your soonest convenience, if you haven't already!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh, and I'll post this (naturally) to Lesley's weekly meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. It's a fun place to look if you'd like to see interesting signage from all over the world! Have a great week, everyone!</span>tobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02539537363084834903noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316143551703667647.post-13839801971434405412011-06-08T23:44:00.000+03:002011-06-08T23:44:05.740+03:00A little help from my friends - once again<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know, growing up as a nerdy little kid, I really never expected to have fans of any kind. And now, lucky me, people from all over Israel (and all over the world, for that matter) keep sending me goofy typos that they've come across. I can never decide whether or not it's a good thing that people think of me when faced with bad grammar and ridiculous signage, but it is what it is. I've decided to accept it as a positive thing! And it makes me feel good to know that I'm not the only one who notices this stuff... :)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And so, with no further ado, here are some interesting items that I've received. First up is from <a href="http://isreview1.blogspot.com/">Daniela</a>, who reviews Israeli food products on her blog - always helpful! She found this at KFC in the Malcha mall in Jerusalem:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U7gzjY-eY90/Te_X-fj4IQI/AAAAAAAAELE/0vTzo_jgsA8/s1600/patates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U7gzjY-eY90/Te_X-fj4IQI/AAAAAAAAELE/0vTzo_jgsA8/s320/patates.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I put <i>patates</i> into Google Translate (our favorite website - check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxDRburxwz8&feature=player_embedded">here</a> why it's even cooler than we thought) it popped up as the Turkish word for potatoes. I'm pretty sure that it's the same thing in French, which makes sense here, but it definitely is not English. Hey - maybe the whole thing is French? That would actually be pretty progressive. Whatever, this looked like a mess to Daniela, and I'm inclined to agree. Thanks for sending it in!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Second - here's another gem from <a href="http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/theory-of-relativity/">Mirj</a>, my longtime reader and online pal. She had a culinary adventure right around Valentine's Day, and found this funky sign in the restaurant bathroom:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4tg0gMarf1s/Te_bfJUIWwI/AAAAAAAAELI/ODpUtdTQMDk/s1600/bathroom-sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4tg0gMarf1s/Te_bfJUIWwI/AAAAAAAAELI/ODpUtdTQMDk/s400/bathroom-sign.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thankfully, she had her camera handy. I love this sign - thanks, Mirj!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And lastly, here are two funny search pop-ups from my dear husband, the <a href="http://www.balashon.com/">Balashon</a>:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

But if you think that's bad, try this one:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1q3z7luZMFE/Te_ddg91kDI/AAAAAAAAELU/5Sgm5IXiZnY/s1600/doogle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1q3z7luZMFE/Te_ddg91kDI/AAAAAAAAELU/5Sgm5IXiZnY/s640/doogle.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why, yes, I did mean doogle dots, that's exactly what we were looking for! However did you guess?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks, everyone - keep these coming! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

But never fear, true readers, in my heart I haven't abandoned you! I've just neglected you a teensy bit :) Anyway, I'll try to make up for it by posting a few good bloopers that I have here, waiting in the wings.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">First, here's a funny one from my friend <a href="http://www.judeanrose.blogspot.com/">Varda</a>. She found this quite a while ago on her package of dill, which is <i>shamir</i> in Hebrew. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UgGCWArWao8/TdSf6P5-JnI/AAAAAAAAEJ8/mZDoGPEW0bY/s1600/corundum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UgGCWArWao8/TdSf6P5-JnI/AAAAAAAAEJ8/mZDoGPEW0bY/s400/corundum.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Corundum? Varda thinks maybe they thought that dill is actually coriander, and got confused. But considering that dill isn't coriander, and that corundum isn't coriander either, this is altogether bizarre. It definitely reconfirms my long-held suspicion that Israelis are pretty sure that no one actually reads the English on their labels - it's just good to slap something on there if you'd like a more professional look :)</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Thanks, Varda!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Second up: this one from our friend Ricky. He found these knives in the grocery store, and was kind enough to grab a photo for me!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dQ7nL_doqnI/TdSg0FjZ4CI/AAAAAAAAEKA/2nqIVkM33SI/s1600/ricky+photo+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dQ7nL_doqnI/TdSg0FjZ4CI/AAAAAAAAEKA/2nqIVkM33SI/s400/ricky+photo+%25281%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This thankfully looks like it wasn't written in Israel, but just arrived with the merchandise which was bought overseas. That means that I can enjoy the absurdity of the language without secretly feeling embarrassed about the ignorance of my countrymen! Thanks, Ricky!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">And here's a news story shown to me by my friend Dena, a few months ago. It's just goofy! Just to explain: Blue Square is the name of the company that owns some grocery store chains here in Israel. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--EfCvLE8P0M/TdShm73UStI/AAAAAAAAEKE/MFD7UVcYH_g/s1600/eggs.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="326" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--EfCvLE8P0M/TdShm73UStI/AAAAAAAAEKE/MFD7UVcYH_g/s400/eggs.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Okay, maybe they're moving away from selling some Tnuva products. But guys, who's going to clean that up??</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Thanks, Dena!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">And last but not least: this was flying around the internet yesterday, and was generously forwarded to me by Gidon, Dave, Ariel and Rachel! Wow. Generally when things go viral like that, I get a bit suspicious that they're fake. But still - four of you sent it to me (an all-time record), so I feel a bit obligated to share it with everyone else, just in case. Enjoy!!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

So I'll just leave it as is, for you to enjoy. I will say this, though: Google Translate has made the world a much more entertaining place!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />

My. Cod.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />

</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a quick and easy one from my friend Ariel. She's found <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-and-only-we-hope-in-beit-shemesh.html">some</a> <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2009/08/just-magic.html">great</a> <a href="http://atimeofthesigns.blogspot.com/2009/12/im-not-doctor-but-i-play-one-on-this.html">signs</a> for us in the past, and I'm always grateful to her for thinking of me. This is no exception! </span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V3cagPKKEz4/TbhvpwD0x6I/AAAAAAAAEJE/PJ10TS0t7x8/s1600/godfish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V3cagPKKEz4/TbhvpwD0x6I/AAAAAAAAEJE/PJ10TS0t7x8/s320/godfish.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sales tax on this receipt (not to mention all the English) shows us that it isn't from Israel, which is especially wonderful! Typos in other countries make me feel like Israel's typos aren't really so bad, considering :)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks again, Ariel! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Jews all over the world are getting ready for a week of unleavened items. Here at my house we've finally finished off all of the various kinds of flour and things that contain flour, and we're almost ready to break out the matza!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But <a href="http://veganstart.com/">Rena</a>, my very favorite vegan, was apparently ready a few weeks ago. She found this label and thoughtfully sent it to me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0k9tz5yEQ3A/TaYJruA3-2I/AAAAAAAAEIg/nJSyAN0yLTU/s1600/whole+out.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0k9tz5yEQ3A/TaYJruA3-2I/AAAAAAAAEIg/nJSyAN0yLTU/s400/whole+out.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See? It says, "Out Flour!" Evidently she had a good head start, and has been using products that endorse banning flour use. Oh, wait, what's that? Ohh... I see. It's supposed to say *Oat* flour. My mistake :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for thinking of me, Rena!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Naturally, I'm posting this to Lesley's meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>. Have a great week, everyone! And a great Passover!</span><br />

And she's already proving quite useful as a signage spy, too - whereas I'm generally located in the greater Jerusalem area, she's located way up North, in Teverya. What fun! I'm so happy to have a new correspondent - welcome aboard, Ester! And just look at what she found for us:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gc4jX0dYwRU/TZt-FF3yTuI/AAAAAAAAEIc/KI5x4PHf33g/s1600/Ester.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gc4jX0dYwRU/TZt-FF3yTuI/AAAAAAAAEIc/KI5x4PHf33g/s400/Ester.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ah... just lovely. After so many years of living here, and over three years blogging, I still can't help but giggle at this stuff! I erased the phone number, for fear that you might be tempted to call Jacob day and night... I know I am!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh, another noteworthy item - <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466">Dina</a> found a <a href="http://jerusalemhillsdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2011/04/tel-aviv-duck-area.html">fantastic sign in Tel Aviv</a> recently - well worth checking out! If you haven't seen her blog before, take a look around - she's always got really interesting photos from the Jerusalem Hills and beyond!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And for those of you who haven't seen it, you *must* watch this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIxToZmJwdI&feature=player_detailpage">entirely hilarious video</a>, in honor of our (all too soon) upcoming Passover holiday! It's a look at what a modern, online Exodus from Egypt might look like, and it's just tremendously funny - enjoy!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Naturally I'm posting this to Lesley's fun meme, <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">Signs, Signs</a>! I'll see you there! Have a great week, everyone!</span><br />
