Poop Notice at the Camden Adventure Aquarium

A friend of mine recently took her daughter to the Camden Adventure Aquarium. She knows of my love of odd signs (and took a few pictures for me in Argentina last year). So when she saw this bird poop notice sign and took this picture for me. I love it!

Genuine Fake Watches from Istanbul, Turkey

My uncle recently took a Holy Lands tour to Istanbul, Israel, etc. He knew of my love for crazy signs, so he took this and sent it to me. The store was packed full of fake Patek Phillipe, Breguet, IWC and Rolex.

Watch Your Flush

On our recent Holland America cruise, I spied this sign in one of the bathrooms. Not throwing trash into the toilet is obvious. But less obvious is not flushing while seated. Since the toilet uses vacuum technology, well…I’m sure you can take a guess what Holland America is worried about.

Gift Shop and Jewish Cultural Center

In downtown Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, I found this building. It houses the Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg Chabad Jewish Welcome Center and the Purple Papaya gift shop. You can get your tacky t-shirt and your salvation – but it’s absolutely cheesy.

Holland America’s Message to Parents

Holland America has a reputation as being stodgy and for the older crowd. Even though we’re in our 30’s, we love Holland America because it’s a bit more elegant and nicer than other cruise ship companies. However, during the holidays, Holland America tends to get a lot of families…including a lot of wealthy families with uber-entitled uppity rich brats. Holland America posted these signs on their Holiday Cruises to try and get some control on the brats.

Holland America Cruise Ship Dining

Cruise ships are notorious breeding grounds for viral outbreaks. If you want a virus, cruise ships are prime places to catch them. To thwart the spread of viruses, Holland America instituted modified food service procedures. I thought this sign was striking in its honesty about the risk. Cruise ship companies have been criticized in the past and I thought this was a good step – even if it did mean long, long lines for food.
