Hehe some oldies here, but there are some I haven't seen before...
Here are some signs that you won't find anywhere in the world except in Africa. In a restaurant in Zambia: "Open seven days a week and weekends." On the grounds of a private school in South Africa:"No trespassing without permission." On a window of a Nigerian shop:"Why go elsewhere to be cheated when you can come here?." On a poster in Ghana:"Are you an adult who cannot read? If so, we can help." In a hotel in Mozambique:"Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of 9.00 am and 11.00am daily." On a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo:"Take note: When this sign is submerged, the river is impassable." In a Zimbabwean restaurant: "Customers who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager." A sign seen on a hand dryer in a Lesotho public toilet: "Risk of electric shock-Do not activate with wet hands." In a Botswana jewellery shop:"Ears pierced while you wait." On one of the buildings of a Sierra Leonne hospital:"Mental Health Prevention Centre." In a maternity ward of a clinic in Tanzania:"No children allowed!" In a cemetery in Uganda:"Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their graves. In a Malawi hotel:"It is forbidden to steal towels please. If you are not a person to do such a thing, please don't read this notice." A sign posted in an Algerian tourist camping park: "It is strictly forbidden on our camping site that people of different sex, for instance a man and woman, live together in one tent unless they are married to each other for that purpose." In a Namibian nightclub:"Ladies are not allowed to have children in the bar." In a photo studio in Chitungwiza (Zimbabwe): "Photos taken while you wait [ 02-03-2003, 05:17 PM: Message edited by: Vaskez ]

Vask, I hope you don't mind my saying this, but I think that's a little exaggerated. While I didn't think the bloopers were exceptioonally funny or anything, they were not making fun of Christianity or another religion. It makes fun of people's mistakes, yeah but it doesn't really ridicule Christians. Not any more than your bloopers make fun of Africans, anyway. See what I mean? It would be ridiculous to call your jokes racist, right? Same goes for what Kaltia posted.
It's a far cry from what happened on PDM. Just MHO. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] Edit: Nevermind, they're deleted now anyway. Carry on [ 02-03-2003, 02:18 PM: Message edited by: Melusine ]
