"Petal Attraction" (a flower shop) and "Elizabeth Tailoring" (a clothes shop) are classics; "Felix the Cut" (a hair salon/barbershop, I assume) and "Mabuhay Funeral Parlor" are...uh, cute too. There are more signs to amaze you with the clever play with words, to make you smile at the apparent oversight on correct English, while some can make you wonder if the wit was intentional, hehe! Check these out:
A sign at a shoe store in Pangasinan: "We Sell Imported Robber Shoes."
At a restaurant in Baguio: "Wanted: Boy Waitress"
At a restaurant in Cebu: "We Hab Sop-Drink In Can An In Batol."
I got these in an email I received from a friend -- it's an article titled "Wit of the Filipino," written by Nury Vittachi, supposedly published in The Far Eastern Economic Review (no date included).
These two are my favorites:
a bakery named BREAD PITT and a Makati fast-food place selling maruya (banana fritters) called MARUYA CAREY. Hahahahaha!!
Hope you enjoyed all that 'cause I most certainly did! =)
