How to look after the kids...

Posted @ 20:31

Just came back from Paris. I thought it was freezing there, until I got back home. Then, I realised how warm Paris had been! haha...

Well, instead of showing you pictures of the Lourvre, Eiffel Tower, etc, check this out:

Funny Sign

I found this sign in the open court outside the Palace of Justice. Does it mean parents shouldn't be holding the hands of their children? Or, giving we were right outside the Paris Law Courts, a gentle reminder that kidnapping of children is to be avoided? I doubt neither interpretation is correct, but if we were to believe the former is true (i.e. no holding hands), then here's a good demonstration from the public:

Or, as this couple has shown, alternative response to the sign:

i believe that sign means:

"people with one leg longer than the other are not allowed to wear skirts or go commando.

Well I guess it means don't walk on the footpath, at least if it is the opposite of this sign. Further investigation reveals this. I don't think it's a very obvious sign at all, though I should've noted the similarity to the British cycleway/walkway sign. The odd sign section of the Americans in France website has a few peculiarities, I particularly like danger of artificial rain!
