I have seen my share of weird or funny hotel & restaurant signs, as I am sure you have too. But what do you make of this one? I took this picture in a small B&B in Chiangmai many years ago because I thought it was so funny. NO LADY JOINER?
At first glance I thought that perhaps they were proud to say that all carpentry in the room was done by a male carpenter and were proudly advertising it (perhaps a cultural thing), then I thought maybe they are trying to say that they do not allow female carpenters in their rooms!
Seriously it took me a bit of thought to figure that one out, I guess since I was traveling with my wife the thought of what the message meant was not clear right away. Ah the wonderful funny world of hospitality...
Out of curiosity what is your first reaction when you see the sign?

to be honest Ioannis, I thought it is some kind of sex discrimination i.e. a woman cannot join us or perhaps the B&B's management was too GAY..
ReplyDeletethis also reminds me a job advert for a cameraman for an adult GAY TV channel on sky and they very cunningly advertised that they are looking for a GAY cameraman (off course if they would have said it openly they could be under heavy fire)
so let me tell you what was written in the advert
"we are looking for a creative and experienced cameraman who has a strong appeal and desire for watching gay men for hours behind the camera" I couldn't stop laughing at it ...

Great post, I admire the writing style :) A little off topic here but what theme are you using? Looks pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteHi I am not sure I understood your question, do you mean what font I use? if that was the meaning of the question then I often use cambria on word and transfer my blog posts to the blogger.
ReplyDeleteIf by theme you mean what is the overall theme of the blog then I am covering hospitality management mainly hotel and restaurant issues...
All the best
Ioannis
