Wakey, wakey

On the path down to the public beach in Aqaba, Jordan. I presume they meant "No Camping"as I am sure some people must nod off in the sunshine. Another one I spotted was at Ali Baba's Restaurant where they had "Lamb Shops" available on the menu. [Aqaba, Jordan - Jan 2006]

'Alas, I have no photo of the sign on the back of the pilot's seats on B737s. Apart from the fact that they can not rotate, one wonders what else was in the minds of those who mandated the sign that says, "Seats must face forward for takeoff and landing."
