Seen Along the Way


Ran across this in Nassau in the Bahamas.  A simple message.  I wonder if the British tourists are confused by how a pencil eraser will protect them? A world divided by a common language. 

Should the world have more signs like this in public places?

    While we don't use the word rubber, we know what it means in your context and I expect British would too. Of course my mind wanders to what could be done with a pencil eraser as protection.

    3. They are very stretchy, I watched someone blow one up and pull it over his head one time to demonstrate that YES IT WILL FIT.

  6. My father used the word rubber to refer to those things with the hole in them used to fix leaks in faucets and such. When I got older learned about how sex worked, I wondered how a man's, uh, joystick could fit into that little hole flaccid let alone erect! Turns out, what dear old dad called rubbers, were washers.
    As for signs, them that will use them will use them, them that won't won't.
