Things That Made Us Go "Hmmm..."

These were signs Ira saw around the city and shared with me recently.


This could easily be the effect of lousy lay-out. Whatever the reason may be, the sign gave me a visual of people coming to the restaurant holding pandan fronds claiming their free iced tea.


In this case, however, it's hard to tell if it's the arrow that's wrong, or someone wasn't sure of the corresponding words for the directions.

Think of all the faucets, speaker outlets, radio controls, gaming consoles and switches where things are labeled as L / R --- the standard letters representing left and right.

What if we came up with products using the vernacular's first letters?

Kaliwa at kanan --- K / K? I wonder.
