I'll have to see whether I have a photo of the sign in the park in Xiamen, with a picture of someone throwing rubbish on the ground, the big red circle and slash, and the caption, "No Tossing" :)

Yep there's been a few of those floating around over the years.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.

I just took a big bite of Hostess Hoho, and saw that. I almost choked. At least it didn;t come out my nose.

There was a gynaecologist in Dumfries who got into trouble when he was giving a talk to The Guild (a women's church group) and mentioned that his wife didn't mind his job as long as he didn't look up any old girlfriends.

It was a great joke for some circumstances, but unfortunately the Kirk wifies complained.
