Hello to all my wonderful friends around the world! We decided to do something a bit different today. It's a small survey...if you don't mind?...
We know that it is supposed to be 'Wordless Wednesday' today but this is obviously not a wordless post. Our focus however is a photograph so we thought perhaps that might count.
Mom took this picture the other day and has been debating if she should allow me to put it up on my blog or not. You see, we are aware that humour is relative and varies from culture to culture. We are also sensitive to the fact that humour differs around our world. What we might think is funny here in South Africa, may be seen as offensive in another country. In South Africa however this photograph would be regarded as hilarious!
Well, we are genuinely and respectfully interested to hear what your reaction is....?
This is a vehicle we saw on the highway the other day

Please let us know what your response is...it will be very interesting to see the spectrum of what readers see as funny or not.

Hi Max
DEFINITELY funny! I'm Scottish and I think so, and Gail is English and she thinks so too! We do like that fact that 'Dogs with Blogs' is an area of the internet where folk are generally nice to each other and supportive, and not rude or offensive, but that photo in our view falls easily with in the category of humorous!
Cheers, H.
Here in Virginia, we would think it was funny too--And it would probably make its way to TV and be shown on one of the late night talk shows! But perhaps like South Africa,there may be some who wouldn't see the humor!
THANKS for the grin to start my day! :-))
We laughed out loud!
hilarious!

The French love double entendres and would be falling over themselves chortling with glee. This falls into the acceptable saucy wit category!
It is certainly most entertaining here in Master Chew Sits. I think Master's construction pals will really enjoy it.

P.S. Know what you mean about sometimes wondering what is OK. For me, it's whether to include photos with my lipstick (which kind of shows often). Just part of being me.
We just loved that pic - mum is off to email to her computer at work to share with friends!
love

BOL! BOL! Funny for sure!! The only thing I'm wondering is do the guys riding in the back of that truck think it's funny? I mean, they've had to have noticed, right??

Ha ha! Definitely funny and clever. So many people get offended by the slightest things these days--I say, LIGHTEN UP!
I read it once, then I read it again and Laughed out loud...I thought, did I just read what it said...very funny here in New England!!
Wooos! No worries here about being offended,we thought it was funny too!

This translates quite well into South Florida humor IMO! If I were driving behind that a photo of it would surely be on my facebook wall within minutes! You folks in SA have the funniest signs ever. Some Americans can get their panties in a bunch over things like this which makes for much less interesting signs. The only way to combat this is to immerse these people in actual humor so they will learn to giggle with the rest of us!
most definitely BOL hilarious!
wags, wiggles & slobbers

Our Mom would have been posting that picture too!!

Oh my goodness! For real? That was SO funny. Like rolling on the floor laughing funny and calling all the peeps to look at it too! I even let the cat take a peek and he may have started to cracked a smile- a big deal for him.
I enjoy your blog and started on of my own recently. Feel free to stop by anytime you want. I have always wanted a friend from South Africa. Fun!
Licks,

Oh My...momma said we wouldn't understand those words since we have been "fixed."
Hysterical
Benny & Lily
Ha roooo - that is what we would say!!! Very funny, and what makes it even funnier is the two guys sitting in the back:)
Tail wags, Phantom and Thunder
For sure funny! No offense taken when the intentions are good. Why not laugh as often as possible as long as we're not offensive. It's healing. Thanks.
Twink!
We thought it was migty funny, and if we saw it going down the road- we would have laughed!
love

Cheers & Cheese,

I don't know who would find it offensive, but I find it totally funny!! I erect.. oops.. I meant elect that you should put it up!!
Hmmm do you think the 2 guys sitting at the back knows about the words? Muahaha....
BOL! That's funny! :)

Living in the Southern US - a notably conservative part of the US - there would inevitably be someone who loudly says that's offensive. But the vast majority of people here would find it very funny and laugh - like our hu-dad did.
Hilarious!! My dad would have taken a picture if he was driving behind them, BOL!

Hi Max, I think it is very funny. The world needs to laugh more, it is so therapeutic. Lots of pats and hugs to you and all your family. Love Barb
He, he, he, funny indeed. A very good marketing idea. People will remember the slogan and will call for their service first. Definitely.
