The story?

They painted the floor in the kitchen so no one could go in.....So they made a sign.

While making this sign, a kid comes to the counter and asks....What does that say?!?

The guy making the sign says, "kid can't you read?!?"........

LOL!!!

Makes sense if you know that traspasar in Spanish means something like "pass through".

The edit is my favorite part: hmmm, this doesn't look quite right...hmm...THERE, that's it! That looks right.

And what's with the "OK"? Was it a response? I think you should write something in response.

LOL.Oh yes.....that is it. Perfect now!!

The other part of the story: The guy who made the sign is the only notorious jerk there. And he was so serious while making it......

He really means that. So. Don't even think of doing whatever that sign says. lol

That "OK"...is an ok? .

*smiles* oh bless.

That reminds me of my students when i was tutoring Basic Skills. They did a project about a local historic building: a 15th century hall. They went to enormous effort to present their project well. They had black backing paper with little sheets of writing, where each had done a small part of the project, and pictures and photos. At the top was the name of the hall in cut out letters. They'd taken such care and paid attention to the details. It was a really earnest effort.

The banner along the top read:

Shibden Hall, built 1473 BC.

:P
