African Signage

A few of my recent favorites (I'm really sorry I wasn't able to upload the photos):

Please do not wash your shoes in the sink.

- in the women's bathroom at a church in Nairobi.

Notice:
Please do not misuse the toilet paper.
Pocketing toilet paper is STEALING.


- on the bathroom door in the T-Tot Hotel in Machakos. (I admit that I rejoice whenever I find toilet paper in an African bathroom, but not so I could STEAL it!)

J. K. STORES BOOKSHOP
We sell cows


-This is a huge sign above a store in Machakos. Considering that you can buy a refrigerator, underwear, a charcoal iron, luggage, and furniture at the grocery store, I wouldn't be surprised if you could buy a cow at the bookstore.
