I’ve fallen way behind in posting. Instead of continuing to stare at all the great ideas I have for epic posts and not actually writing any of them, I’ll try to break the bloggers’ block by posting some amusing signs I’ve come across in my last couple of months of travels. They might be amusing only to me, so no guarantees… Photos taken in Montréal, Toronto, and Paris, France.

Défense d'afficher (do not post) Do not post. File under: “Irony”

Ice Cold Ramen File under: “Who thought this was a good idea?”

Est-ce que les sacs pour les fruits et légumes vous conviennent? How are the fruit and vegetable bags? File under: “Low-tech, in situ survey technology”

no stapler here File under: “If staplers are such a common request, why don’t they just keep one there?”

Petit bar à chiens Little dog bar. File under: “Just plain cute.”

Friday Follies Cancelled…

Due to the murders of over 150 innocent people in Paris tonight, the Grammar Cop will not be presenting her usual Friday Follies.

The precious lives of all those people who were just out to enjoy a Friday evening, minding their own business, matter more than hyphens or apostrophes just now.

I bow my head in sorrow.
