Funny signs along the way
While only in our second country in Africa Carrie and I have seen some funny signs. In a hotel in Nakuru, Kenya, there was a sign on the bathroom door, "PLIZ FLASH THE TOILET". In an electric plant we toured on Mfangano Island on Lake Victoria, Kenya there was a sign about charging phones and for people not working there it was "OUT OF BOUNCE". Coming to Mbale, Uganda on the taxi (minibus) we saw at a stop a "BARBER SALOON". I asked the man next to me if that meant you could get a beer while you had your hair cut. He said "no," and laughed when I explained that in America a saloon was another name for a bar and that they had probably meant to have it read "SALON". Last is on our breakfast menu at our hotel in Mbale, Uganda you can order "SCRUMBLED EGGS". Maybe they're better than scrambled. A little humor goes a long way. Hope everyone is well.
