Book Description
Showcasing a bevy of ridiculous, poignant, and often confounding street signs, this entertaining tribute to the images submitted by the globetrotting fans of travel stalwart Getaway over the years is the third eyebrow-raising journey into international public oddity. With a lighthearted focus on the unintentional misuse and abuse of words, this world tour of grammatical incorrectness is a spirited yet good-natured mocking of naivety or ignorance of the English language. Replete with amusing and bewildering photographs from savvy world travelers, and equally targeting the full international spectrum of cultural literary misadventures, this comical collection illustrates how so many exert considerable effort to tell others wacky things on boards and signs--while often getting the message hilariously wrong in the process.
