Mind your language

I was reading egm's post earlier and it reminded me of something I received from a friend some time back. Me thinks that our English is caliberated - question is, however, what reference standard are we using?

Mujienjoy!

Temple, Bangkok:
It is forbidden to enter a woman, even a foreigner, if dressed as a man.

Cocktail lounge, Norway:
Ladies are requested not to have children in the bar.

Doctor’s office, Rome:
Specialist in women and other diseases.

Restaurant, Nairobi:
Customers who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager.

Athi River Highway, Nairobi:
Take notice: When this sign is under water, this road is impassable.

Restaurant, Mombasa
Open seven days a week and weekends.

In a cemetery:
Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own graves.

Hotel Rules and Regulations, Tokyo:
Guests are requested not to smoke or do other disgusting behaviour in bed.

Menu, Swiss Restaurant:
Our wines leave you nothing to hope for.

Bar, Tokyo
Special cocktails for the ladies with nuts.

Hotel, Japan:
You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid.

Hotel Lobby, Moscow:
You are welcome to visit the cemetery where famous Russian and Soviet composers, artists, and writers are buried daily except Thursday.

Hotel, Zurich:
Because of impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose.

Donkey ride ad, Thailand:
Would you like to ride on your own ass?

Laundry, Rome:
Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a good time.

And my favourite:
Poster, Nairobi:
Are you an adult that cannot read? If so, we can help.

(As an unauthorised aside - i loved that programme, Mind Your Language even when KBC did reruns about a year ago it was all still fresh.)
