  2. Kailani, wasn’t it “Foot Locker”? Isn’t Athlete’s Foot a fungus?

    I love funny signs like this. The first two are my favorite. Here in Israel I once got a flyer for a course teaching “Spiking English”. Well, at least they weren’t eaching spelling I suppose…

  11. There is:

    Mummy Look – a salon in Satwa
    Antique Museum – is neither a museum or sells antiques: just souvenirs
    Phone Museum – a mobile phone unlocking store
    Whistly and Fluge – tailors. Whistle and Flute is cockney rhyming slang for suit…
