My wife and I have been living in Marikina since 2005. But it was only last March 9 (Sunday) that we, together with a couple of in-laws, had the time to go to the World of Butterflies which is just a few blocks away from our house.
I won’t discuss the features of this particular home to several species of butterflies lest I spoil your planned visit there. Besides, as the title suggests, the reason for this post has more to do with sex and grammar.
Huh? What am I writing about? Anyway, before I give you the answer, I’d like to show you what you can see should you decide to go to the World of Butterflies.
Isn’t that beautiful? Of course, you may answer with a counter-question, “Isn’t that obvious?”
Anyway, let’s cut right to the chase and show you this funny sign that has to do with sex and grammar.
Had the sign been properly edited, it would have read:
MATING CAGES
An enclosed area where mating of butterflies, which could last up to 24 hours, takes place.
I still can’t get over the fact that the copulation period for butterflies lasts up to 24 hours or one full day. This situation more than makes up for their very short life span, don’t you think?
That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!
