"New" Olive Bar
I guess the olive bar is old news now. Thanks Daniel.

"Friendly" cultures
I guess these bacteria will shake your hand and say hello, not like those other, unfriendly cultures. Thanks Julia.
"Danger"
Submitter Ozan translates the japanese version thus: "Watch above your head" We apologize for the inconvenience.
In either language, it may or may not be dangerous.

"pasta" "salads"
If it has pasta in it, is it really salad? (yes) (but maybe not if it's fake pasta?) Thanks Gemma.
Served "Hot"
I guess the meaning of "hot" depends on the popularity of this booth? Thanks Maggie.

"Doing Business" I See
Now trying to decide what word was originally after business there. Business cats? Like these Adventure Time gifs?
Thanks Eli.

Donate to "Telethon"
I wonder if "telethon" is codename for "my credit card debt." Thanks Dan.
Grey?
One can only assume this sign is the result of a dispute over the spelling of Gray/Grey. Thanks Rick.

"Apples"
Hey, no more giving fake apples to those robotic cows. Thanks Heidi.
"Internet"
Well, kids these days wouldn't remember the REAL internet... what we have today is, you know, "internet." Thanks Joseph.

"Fish" Menu
I do not wish to guess what sort of thing "fish" could be made out of. Thanks Colm.
In the name of "Humanity"
I don't know whose nickname is "Humanity" but he or she is really exasperated about this fake door thing. Thanks Reid.

Interview on The Grammarist
I did this interview
, which you may read if you are interested.

"No" food or drink
Special food/drink allowed, I guess. Or imaginary food? Thanks Forrest.
Thursday, April 10, 2014
"Purchase Required"
I guess it's only required for some people. Thanks Nick.

"Do not" use toilets
So, like, special people can? Thanks Thauma.
Uh huh. "Valued." Right.
Also, here comes a fake law! Thanks Melissa.

Is this like The Fonz or something?
I don't know if I'm more worried about alleged pizza or the freshness of the mussels. Thanks Michael.
Real dangerous
Who knows what untold "perils" await you in this construction area. Thanks John.

"Hostess" Will Seat You
I guess it could also be a host? Or some kind of host-animal? Or a host GHOST because it rhymes. Thanks Christopher.

"Honoring Our Customers"
I can only assume that these are the titles of the owners favorite poems. That he wrote himself. Probably. Thanks Ruth.
Apologies for "inconvenience"
I guess they think it's not that inconvenient. Thanks Doreen.
Friday, April 04, 2014
Some kind of code?
I assume all these terms are defined in an asterisk somewhere else? Thanks Paddy.

It's "Petrol" ok
Michelle spotted this in Bali and then her friend Juliet sent it on to me. And this is where they sell their fake petrol, I guess.
Coins "Only"
I wonder what else you can use to get a soda from this machine? Thanks Brian.

"Great" Chinese Food
I guess the food's ok. Thanks Bruce.
Tuesday, April 01, 2014
Fake police!
Fake library! Where are the real city services? Thanks Kim.
Cut for "Free"
I guess there's really no such thing as free... butchering? Thanks Matt.
