More fun with words from my humor guru, Emil:

WHERE ARE THE PROOF READERS!!!

Did I read that sign correctly?  TOILET OUT OF ORDER. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW

In a London department store:  BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS

In an office:  AFTER TEA BREAK STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEAPOT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD

Outside a secondhand shop:  WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING – BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?

Spotted in a safari park: ELEPHANTS PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR

Seen during a conference:  FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN’T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE 1ST FLOOR

Notice in a farmer’s field:  THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES.

Message on a leaflet:  IF YOU CANNOT READ, THIS LEAFLET WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET LESSONS
