Taiwanese Toilet Humour
5 Dec
Pardon the not-so-sharp picture, there was only that much I could go without giggling and shaking at this bizarre sign in a Taipei toilet. Remember how your primary school Chinese teacher always used to say you’d really appreciate being able to read Chinese at some point in your adult life? This was mine.
The sign was written in the ‘voice’ of a.. toilet bowl (I’m assuming, since it was above a squat toilet). It reads, literally: “I may eat whatever but I do not eat toilet paper” (remember this is the toilet bowl speaking).. “so please don’t feed me with that or I may BARF.”
This one was just in sheer bad taste — an ad for a brand of sanity pad at a pad vending machine in a toilet. Obviously this doesn’t need much explaining; there’s a pad shaped like a chair, and the text reads: “No matter what happens, I’ll prop you up first!”
