The Ten Commandments of a Real Worker

I have always seen this sign hanging in my aunt's house, so I finally decided to take a picture of it, and I will try my best to translate it for you.  It's basically ten rules or commandments for the procrastinator.


1.  One is born tired and lives to rest.
2. Love your bed like you love yourself.
3. Rest up during the day to prepare for sleep at night.
4.  If you see someone resting, help him.
5. Work is effort. (Not 100% sure about this one)
6. Don't do today what you can leave for tomorrow.
7. Do as little as you can and delegate what you have to do to others.
8. Too much rest never hurt anyone.
9.  If you feel the urge to work, sit down and wait until it passes.
10. If work is acknowledged, so is misfortune (not 100% sure of this either) 

Wow, those Italians really love their jobs, huh?

Funny Sign Time!

There's a tree farm near where I live, and I pass by it on the way to and from work.  Recently I noticed they put out some signs advertising that they're open.

This is what it looks like:


Any guesses at what they're really selling??

I submitted it to the blog of "unnecessary" quotation marks.   Let's see what happens!

Amusing Sign

Last night was a ladies night. We went to a Mongolian Grill restaurant. If you've never been to one of these, you should go. It's a line of raw meat, noodles, veggies, and sauces that you choose yourself, give to a man standing in front of a huge metal ring with fire under it, and he fries it right up for you. It's very tasty, and healthy, since you know what's going it in it.

Anyway, this post isn't really about the restaurant. Now, I've been there quite a few times, and this is the first time I noticed this sign on the door:

I've never seen anything like this before. I guess it's to keep out the riff-raff looking for a burger.
