An Amusing Billboard

Have you ever seen a billboard or a sign and wondered "What were they thinking??" or "Wow, they need to re-work that translation..."

A few years ago, back in December 2007, my family was in Kuwait for our Christmas Break. One day we were in our car driving past an area that had a ton of car dealerships. Up high on one of the car dealership buildings there was an advertisement for convertible cars. My younger sister Rachel and I started busting up laughing...

The sign read - "Drive Topless"

I'm pretty sure that the dealership did not realize it could be interpreted differently and how odd that message would be for potential customers, ESPECIALLY in the conservative country of Kuwait.

Hope that got a few of you to smile, especially if you needed a pick-me-up today.

Cheers!
