 Similarly, from the Soviet Weekly: There will be a Moscow Exhibition of Aets by 15,000 Soviet Republic painters and sculptors. These were executed over the past two years.
 
 
 A sign posted in Germany �s Black Forest: It is strictly forbidden on our black forest camping site that people of different sex, for instance, men and women, live together in one tent unless they are married with each other for that purpose.
 
 In a Zurich hotel: Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose.
 
 In an advertisement by a Hong Kong dentist: Teeth extracted by the latest Methodists.
 
 In a Rome laundry: Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a good time.
 
 In a Czechoslovakian tourist agency: Take one of our horse-driven city tours -- we guarantee no miscarriages.
 
 Advertisement for donkey rides in Thailand: Would you like to ride on your own ass?

							| maybe your list is a bit long... and most mistakes in these messages are simply due to bad translation... by the way, when you make a mistake - or a typo - you can simply edit your message...

							| These signs are probably invented. Most of these lists that circulate by e-mail are created, not actually found.   For some very funny similar signs, you can visit   Another website I love has conversations between people and their customers:   Bruce |  5 Jun 2011

							|  Some of them are very funny. I liked the one of the Roman doctor "women and other diseases" Amazing how sometimes translation is a loaded gun.   I think the one of the Budapest Zoo was written by one of the guards. Ha ha ha ha.   Good stuff. Thank you. |  7 Jun 2011
