Soo...It's Been a Long Time!

While there's a LOT I've been doing - going on Spring Break to Italy and Greece, going to Paris with Frances and George, going to Stratford-upon-Avon, la la la, there's one thing I've been doing above all - finding funny signs!!

Here's part numero uno.
Yeah, I see this every day. But it's still hilariously awesome. The Brits are so polite in everything - if buses aren't picking up, their signs say "Sorry Not In Service."
Um, I assume why I had to take a picture of this sign is kind of obvious. This was in Greenwich, which was a pretty fun little trip.

Also in Greenwich. As you can tell, I was somewhat perplexed by the concept of a merlion.
This was on our way to Liverpool. Since, I've seen more of these "Little Mister and Little Miss" books, but here was the first. It brought back so many memories of my childhood with those books. And for some reason, they make me think of Mr. Sketch smelly markers. Mmm, I could go for one of those right about now.
This is just hilarious.
Ok, this is not a sign. But how could I not document this outrageous book title? "Itchy" London? Gosh, I hope not!
When we went to Brugge - amazing city BTW, small, quiet, and beautiful, no matter what Colin Farrell may say. So there was this little carnival thing, and there was this painting on the side. Which is EXACTLY the same as this Disney puzzle Frances, my sister, and I used to do all the time. How crazy (awesome) is that?
I don't know if you've seen these at airports or other establishments yet. They're called "A Novel Idea." Get it? It was at the Gatwick Airport on our way to Florence and Spring Break. At least Katie had heard of it. However, I had not. It's quite an interesting and innovative concept, but I can't help but get the hebbie jeebies from it. And isn't there usually a bookstore, I don't know, 50 feet away at airports?
This was in the window of a Florenti shop. London followed us everywhere!
