Varning: From the Nordic Countries

Translation:  Warning crushing hazard.

I admit this one from Norway is a little gruesome…

Perhaps, they should consider the speed at which their elevators descend…

My husband is cursed with a acute sense of smell, so often his comment upon seeing some horror, the black hole of Calcutta, stockyards in July, a daycare full of babies, and now someone crushed by their own garbage can: “I bet that smells.”

The mysterious sign below is from Sweden, which Google translated as: “Cows Slowly Rotating seniors.” I may have missed putting in a few umlats here and there. My friend, who lives in Sweden, set me straight with a translation of “Drive Slowly –Retirees at play.” Though one wonders at what they are playing…

And finally, also from Sweden:

Laziness is not a disability copy

Translation: Laziness is not a disability.

Boo-YAH! Swedes keepin’ it real.

I don’t agree; laziness is a terrible disability, which is so often exacerbated by a total lack of ambition to overcome it.

    Back to Norway – looks like the elevator cab has no door. Being crushed by your garbage is only one of the hazards.

    Very funny. The commentary really amplifies the basic silliness of the signs. Bravo!
