Sign of the times…

I saw this notice at the hotel where I was staying in Kuching the other day…

…and I imagined the whole function room filled with cats. I wonder what they would discuss – royalty payments from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber? Or maybe the male ones would just go, “Maaaaahuuu?…Maaaaahuuuu?” Then the female cats would respond, “Tak maaaahuuuu! Tak maaaahuuuu!!!” LOL!!! But seriously, I would think that should read “Sarawak Cat Lovers’ Club”

Then there was this other notice… 

I wish they would make up their minds whether they wanted to use English or BM…and it was a course on English proficiency some more.

Now, I’ve seen this one in many hotels…

The sign says, “In case of fire, do not use lifts.” Now, I would think that it means I must not use the lifts so that a fire would not break out. The advice below that in smaller print states, “In case of fire, use staircase.” Are they telling me that I should use the staircase as otherwise, a fire might break out? I wish somebody would tell them that they should say, “In the event of a fire, do not use the lifts.”

Are these the sign of the times, I wonder?
