No Signs or Symbols Allowed
On my Effexor prescription bottle it says "take with food", along with a drawing of a hamburger. Not a carrot or banana, but a hamburger just like from McDonald's. On another prescription bottle it says "take with food", along with a drawing of a loaf of bread. Not a carrot or banana, but a loaf of bread, probably white, made with bleached white flour. I don't know what that means, it's just an observation.
International symbols like these do make sense, most of the time, but sometimes I have to wonder. The sign that used to read "Men Working" now shows a figure with a shovel. Is it a man or woman? I ask myself these things.
Then there are symbols that make no sense to me. This symbol looks kind of like a line poking through a light bulb. It is supposed to represent someone's ear. It is the international symbol for "deaf".
(huh?)
Here's more of my perceptions:
"I am kissing my finger".
"It's Snowing From the Faucet"
"This triangle is surprised!"
"My butt hurts."
"Going Bowling." (hint: it really means breast feeding allowed here)
"The Crossing Guard is Using His Laptop."
"Don't Look at This Sign."
"Look, Your Fly is Open."
"Lady Cut in Half."
