Strange sign

22:31:33 | Daily Life, Little Things |

Spotted this sign by the roadside this evening and was a little amused by it.

Swimming lessons, you say? (Actually, the sign only says ’swimming’ - but I’m assuming that the person is trying to advertise swimming lessons since they are so common these days.)

What made me chuckle was the choice of location for the sign - right next to the drain. Seems to imply that the swimming lessons would be conducted in the drain. (Yuck - brown, murky water full of pee and poo and other possible strange chemicals from sewage. Definitely not a good choice for swimming.)

I doubt the sign’s owner realized his little folly there - that his sign may drive home the wrong message. But I thank him for that little laugh I got anyway.

Ah, well. Should be heading off to lala-land soon since it’d be another early day for me tomorrow as my family and I make another twice-yearly venture to the unknown terrain (HA. HA. HA.) of Genting Highlands.

Me, my heavy (full of rocks?!?) baggage, sunburn (ouch!) and rashes (developed an allergic reaction to the groundwater showers at Pulau Sibu - delayed reaction but heck, still as itchy as ever!) are all ready and raring to go.

See you again in four days or so!
