people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.
Well, Bridget, that seems in principle to be similar to the troupe of acrobats from Northern Spain who developed a spectacular display that involved them all appearing from (apparently) the same spot at the same moment and instantaneously forming a human pyramid. To create this illusaion they had to be crammed into one small space to start off, and the only suitable hidy-hole was the Way Out. Unfortunately, as the waited for their cue, a large vehicle, out of control, crashed into that bit of the Big Top, crushing them all. Which served them right for putting all their Basques in one Exit.

From The New Scientist (27 April 02) Each separate 21-day blister pack of the contraceptive pill Marvelon comes in an individual foiled wrapper with the wording "Child resistant pack"

Barry Cryer today on Radio 4: "There was a packet of sausages with a picture of Antony Worrall Thompson, and the legend underneath said: Prick With a Fork!"http://www.awtonline.co.uk/welcome.asp

By the way, this was a real blast from long ago. Did anyone except me notice there was an unexpurgated Max Quordlepleen post or two?

That reminds me of the sign frequently seen this side of the pond, in the rest rooms area of public buildings:
Baby changing facility
yeah, swop 'em for something useful, mom, they smell :)

My sister took a photograph of a sign she saw in Ireland. It was a homemade sign, posted beside the road, and it warned: Powerful slow ducks Maybe they were JCB ducks?

Years ago there was a pub in a Sussex village called Sompting and the sign to it read "Standon Inn Sompting". Unfortunately the inn is no more - it was converted from a public into a private house.
A road on the Isle of Wight climbs up a steep hill to form the stem of a T juction. The signpost on the road forming the crosspiece of the T carries two notices pointing in diametrically opposite directions. One reads "Way to Station", the other reads "Easier Way to Station". For some reason this has always struck me as highly funny.
