I'm from somewhere in Africa too...

Here are some signs that you won't find anywhere else in the world
except in AFRICA ....

In a restaurant in Zambia: "Open seven days a week and weekends."

On the grounds of a private school in South Africa: "No trespassing
without permission."

On a window of a Nigerian shop: "Why go elsewhere to be cheated when
you can come here?."

On a poster in Ghana: "Are you an adult who cannot read? If so, we can
help."

In a hotel in Mozambique: "Visitors are expected to complain at the
office between the hours of 9.00 am and 11.00am daily."

On a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo: "Take note: When this
sign is submerged, the river is impassable."

In a Zimbabwean restaurant: "Customers who find our waitresses rude
ought to see the manager."

A sign seen on a hand dryer in a Lesotho public toilet: "Risk of
electric shock - Do not activate with wet hands."

In a Botswana jewelers shop: "Ears pierced while you wait."

On one of the buildings of a Sierra Leone hospital: "Mental Health
Prevention Centre."

In a maternity ward of a clinic in Tanzania: "No children allowed!"

In a cemetery in Uganda: "Persons are prohibited from picking flowers
from any but their own graves."

In a Malawi hotel: "It is forbidden to steal towels please. If you are
not a person to do such a thing, please don't read this notice."
