A Joke a day keeps the doctor away! (19-01-13) – funny sights!



1. Many years ago, while traveling a road in the South I saw a road sign that reads, ‘Beware. Dangerous potholes ahead!’ It made me wonder, ‘Instead of putting up a road sign, why not use that money to fill up the potholes?’ Better still, let it read: ‘Beware. Dangerous people in charge!’

2. I was walking down one street in the North and I saw a board that reads: ‘JAMB for sale!’ It made me wonder, “Why put it that way, is it ‘JAMB form for sale’ or ‘JAMB exam for sale’ or ‘JAMB result for sale’ or ‘JAMB as a whole for sale’?” Answers: a) all of the above. b) none of the above c) only one of the above… (Please, note: negative marking applies. Leave blank if your brain is blank.)

3. On the back of a fuel tanker, below the sign that says: ‘highly inflammable’, there was another message, ‘Don’t trust girls.’ It made me wonder, ‘Why? What does ‘trusting girls’ have to do with ‘highly inflammable materials’? Too hot to handle? IEDs (Improvised explosive devices)? Carry fire extinguishers when going out on a date?

4. The opposite of correct is incorrect. The opposite of edible is inedible. Therefore the opposite of flammable should be inflammable. Hence, I wonder, ‘Why does the English dictionary say flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?’ English language, uhmmmmm. No comment. {Maybe, dem they play us ojoro}
