Funny Sign Friday
This sign was found in the Bonsai Tree garden next to Huangguoshu Pubu in Anshun, Guizhou Province.
Clearly the image indicates that there should be no lighting of fires. I get that. But what about other firing? Can you fire guns? Can you fire employees? Will it destroy the peace and serenity of the garden if you are on the phone firing somebody? Chinese usually try to avoid confrontation, so I suppose it’s possible.
And scribbling? I can’t even begin to imagine the horrors that would be unleashed by scribbling a note on a piece of paper. Imagine, if you will. You are lost and trying to find your way back to your car. Someone offers to give you directions. You pull out a pen and paper and start to hastily scribble down what he is saying. All of a sudden, policemen jump out from behind the Bonsai trees and attack! They mercilessly beat you for scribbling. Oh the humanity! Clearly you should not scribble things down. Because you might be writing down politically subversive doctrines or what not. And that would certainly disturb the peace. Or, at the very least, cause people to think for themselves. And the powers that be can’t have that. Certainly not.

No scribbling = No grafitti! Anyway, that’s my interpretation. Glad everyone like my hamburger recipe. Not much of a recipe really, just put as many vegetables as possible into the mix: celery, peppers, onions, carrots, squash, whatever is on hand!
