As promised, here are some funny signs from my recent out-of-town trips.

Let’s start from a province that’s about an hour’s drive away from our house in Marikina. I was invited to conduct a writing workshop for high school campus journalists, and the activity was held at a recently opened resort.

My wife and I noticed this sign inside our room.

Do you know what’s wrong? Not yet? Let’s focus on the last two paragraphs.

Do as you would be done by. That’s obviously an awkward sentence construction, and I won’t even try to interpret it.

Please tell me: How does one go about “scattering sunshine?” And if you think for others, does this mean that the others won’t think at all? That’s something to think about. (Talk about an indirect crash course in prepositions!)

Anyway, my wife and I took the night trip to Bicol immediately after the workshop I conducted. While passing by city hall, I noticed this sign that proudly and redundantly announces the city’s anniversary.

You don’t need to put the word “year” if you’re referring to an anniversary. The latter already means annual celebration.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!
