'PATIENCE' for 'PATIENT'. They never thank me anyway.

Lets start with something light....

This shot is from a place where this signage is the only thing that is worth taking a picture for. FYI check out the 'PEMRIKSAAN' spelling. In an ideal world it probably would be 'pemEriksaan'. Now where have I seen this from?

They did not specify that the sign printing techie need to be an ex-spelling bee semi finalist do they? This is taken from a local university. (Name of university is to be kept anonymous for fun reasons.)

Now this is one rare species of mushroom only to be found at the remote areas of the cold storage section in the isolated peninsula of a fine supermarket in town.

Still quite unsure what they're doing to the warm up pool then but heck!, it's the swimming pool, do you think they know what they're doing anyway? (Source: Lord Silverback)
