Wordie Wonders

Recently on a trip to Kanyakumari I had a hard time controlling my laughter after reading some of the Billboards, menu cards and boards atop Buses.

Some of them which I can recollect are:
Restaurrent (Rest-aur-rent ??)
Power Break ( No hand signal )
Barotha (This was seen on a menu card, to be read as Parotha )
Bagan (No no not the Mythical figure Bagan but it was supposed to be Baingan (Eggplant)
Manjurian ( That was supposed to be a Chinese receipe)
No overtaking and horning ( Seen beside a small culvert built on a small river)
'Weak Bridge' Drive fast ( I kept my fingers crossed till we crossed the Bridge, I looked back and thankfully it was still there)
We deel in all kinds of Engin oils (Beside a spareparts shop)
Paultry farm (Poultry farm)
Keep your tail lights fit (???)
Give XXXX brand fish food to make your fish butifull and and fast. (Found on a fish food wrapper)

Some that were found in Delhi

Videshi sharab ki sarkari dukaan
(Hic !)
Black forrest Pestry (Found in a DU canteen)
We service all types of 'Computars' (Seen in Nehru place)

Will add the rest when I recollect them..


Also people reading this are welcome to add new and hillaroius ones.
