Brilliant! The USSR one cracked me up the most and I've laughed so much my face now looks like a bag of crisps.!


Cheers.....


I went on holiday to Turkey once where full English breakfasts are common for the tourists.On a board read:





Full English made with not fake pigs and Tost%26amp;Mamladdy.


Seriously!
Reply:Very good! Chuckles!!
Reply:I'm with mydearsie, I am not going to Acapulco, not even if the owner passed all the water.





Thanks Susie, you help shorten a long week.
Reply:I think I could get in a lot of trouble in some of those places. Might be interesting to take them in literal English. I had seen some of the these. I think they are very funny.
Reply:Sorta makes a person wonder where some of these people learned the English language, doesn't it? I'm guessing Cable TV or the Internet! That's probably why I have no interest in leaving the USA. I love it here because I already know this slangwage!
Reply:Thanks, Suzie. I don't think I have laughed out loud all day today. Too funny!
Reply:Well thats it then, I'm off to Moscow!!
Reply:This was excellent.
Reply:Okay. I guess I have to cancel my trip to Acapulco. I wonder what a traveler to this country thinks if they see the sign 'Yes, we have no bananas'.


These are cute. Thanks again.
Reply:Not really a question but so entertaining
Reply:Am still laughing out loud - my cats are staring at me wondering what I am up to? So funny Suz - have a star!


Hugs CJ
Reply:You've done it again! Thanks for a good laugh. Can't pick out a favourite because they all made me laugh.
