Most Disturbing of Signs

March 4, 2011

This is the most disturbing Baby On Board sign, I think, I have ever seen.

Why are there two? Why are they naked? Why are they embarrassed about being naked? Why do they have cloven hooves? And, the facial expressions are beyond description.

Traditional American Coffee Served in a Jar

This is a jar, ladies and gentlemen. And this, filled with coffee, was what I pictured in my head when I read “Traditional American coffee served in a jar” in the menu at La Brioche.

I also imagined just what kind of traditional Americans would drink coffee in a jar. Ma and Pa Kettle came to mind or maybe the Beverly Hillbillies.

Well, since it was only a dirham more than a regular latte, I took the bait. I had to see just what traditional American coffee in a jar was.

Okay, Frenchies, that is a coffee pot, not a jar.

Now having complained about bad translation, I must say I was happy with my coffee in a jar, because I got three cups out of it and that is almost like having free refills. (Although, considering I paid a little over $4 for it, not really free refills.)
