    Gotta throw in a few Bush-isms :D:
    “The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the — the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice.” —Washington, D.C., Oct. 27, 2003.

    “There’s an old…saying in Tennessee…I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says Fool me once…(3 second pause)… Shame on…(4 second pause)…Shame on you….(6 second pause)…Fool me…Can’t get fooled again.” —Nashville, Tennessee, Sept. 17, 2002.


    President Bush: “Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?”
    Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times: “I can take them off.”
    Bush: “I’m interested in the shade look, seriously.”
    Wallsten: “All right, I’ll keep it, then.”
    Bush: “For the viewers, there’s no sun.”
    Wallsten: “I guess it depends on your perspective.”
    Bush: “Touché.

    A strip-club in Cork had a sign outside instructing patrons to "Use bottom entrance" (there is a door that is below street level)... but it was removed recently.

    Staying in a hotel in Canada with work at the minute that has an LED sign flashing 'Big Spa' outside the entrance for the health club.

    -Funk

    EDIT: Scratch that, I was wrong. Just walked by it again. It says "Absolute Spa". Even better.

    On the wall of an alleyway in a sleepy Mayo town many years ago, the 'offer' was, written in marker, "Sex:10p off".....

    News : '74 Year Old Man Clubbed To Death'.
    Wow, what a party animal!

    BBC News - British student dies two weeks after falling from a balcony in Majorca.
    Holy ****, how high was that balcony!?

    BBC News Headlines read, "Cheques to be phased out by 2018."
    ****ing hell, not again.Hitler tried that in 1939.

    Sky News: "Emergency services were afraid they could be swamped by a torrent of melted ice."
    I believe the technical term is "water".

    Kate McCann:"I live in fear of the dreaded knock at the door"
    No need to worry about that Kate,You keep leaving them open.

    BBC news *'Man arrested over 1982 murders'
    ....You would have thought the police would have caught him after just a few!

    I think it's a sign in the Tesco main centre in Donabate.

    'All deliveries use the rear passage' .

    Had a good giggle about that..

    There's a sign outside a sex shop here that says "second entrance at the rear". Maybe I'm easily amused but I think it's funny.

    I guess for this one ya gotta know the Julius Ceasar quote: 'Veni, Vidi, Vici'.
    (I came, I saw, I conquered.)

    On a pub toilet wall: 'Veni, Vidi, Weewee'.

    Driving to Castlebar from the Sligo direction, you see a road sign saying Castlebar 11Km. Drive 1Km further along the road and you'll see a similar sign saying Castlebar 12Km - WTF!

    I saw a sign on the side of a shop in Moore Street today advertising "PC Pepairs" and it didn't look like part of an R fell off.

    Saw another in Kerry which said "Caution: Road markings ahead" ... eh, I've heard of "No road markings ahead" but wha?

    There's a shop in Clondalkin villiage which has "Loose weight" on its signage.
