Hilarious Signs I Saw In Cambodia... (Can't Make This Sh*t Up!)

In 2015 I lived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia... From the moment I got there, I knew I needed to always carry my camera, the way I would my passport! Such living conundrums present themselves on a moment-to-moment basis, that to not capture it would be a tourist's travesty...

The sign above, I actually purchased from a guy with a kiosk on the side of the road... I would ride by every day on my bicycle, and I do love my novelties... So one day I stopped and paid about $3 for 2 signs... Let's just call them #2 (above) and #1, (below) as opposed to what they graphically portray, LOL... Or the pictures with the X are faceboob, and the pictures with the check mark are steemit! Lulz out loud!

Then there was Dr. Meth, who was actually practicing psychiatric medicine... No idea if he realizes the western implications of his name, but it sounds like a Guns N Roses song, to me... Hilarious... I think Meth is a Khmer surname, but he could have been the Walter White of Cambodia, breaking bad all over again...

Cambodia is such a wartorn country, I could hardly blame them for the extreme effects of having bombs go off in yor village, or everyone wearing glasses gets executed because they may be smart enough to lead a revolution... Yes, a very sordid backstory... So when I would see things designed to trigger Americans, I just enjoyed the cognitive dissonance and thought maybe it was a typo?

If I worked at this '9 Eleven' shop, would I have an inside job? LOL... This is a picture that almost got away... I saw this place once while on a motorcycle, so I didn't know which street it was on or what... I made it my personal quest, to take a different street each day on my bicycle, and finally found it... Level Up! A few days later my bicycle was stolen, so yay... Cambodia can be rough!

SorryBuy.jpg

Haha! Would you go into sorrybuy? What on earth would you buy? Apologies? Or do they grovel as you buy them? Images like this make me glad I took the time to live there... Cost me about as much as a year of university, but it was worth it...

The next one is another WTF were they thinking pic... I never got into Oh No! taxi, and never will... Probably a blind driver with tuberculosis... I may sound cynical, but for every beautiful soul there is a shady dude trying to sell you a kid... Not kidding, except that pun... Stop pizzagate, yo! (Maybe this is the taxi that broke up The Beatles?)

When they do want to clearly communicate something, Cambodia can do it with boldness and style... This sign was from the Killing Fields, and isn't funny at all... Which is funny, to me at least...

After a hard day of sightseeing and taking odd pictures, wouldn't you like to meet me for some Fried Crap?

LOL! Like I said, ya can't make this shit up...

To add further irony to the dining experience, they make sure you know all the trash loves you!

But I finally found understanding! True, it was on a graffiti wall on the shore of the lake they filled with sand... It should have said UNDERSANDING, because the new land was too unstable to build on!!

The Cambodian word for oral sex is Yum Yum... Again, not making it up! Sex is Boom Boom, which is funny but scary too... Did I learn any other words? Somehow those are the ones I remember most easily... Lulz...

This has been a Craig 'CMOR' Morrison work...

No signs were harmed during the production of this post...

In the event of a water landing, the captain will turn on the SMOKING GUN signal...

Pleased be advised that this post will self-destruct...

Go make boom boom!

That first sign is wrong though. That is a healthier way to go #2 we evolved squatting to poop. Sitting on a seat is relatively new and crimps the intestine making it not as efficient and more strenuous. Might be tmi but this is important info considering how much time is spent pooping.

Cambodia seems like a one big meme to me xD

LOL!! It totally is! This guy tries to sell you 8 things at once!!

"Let's fry this crap!"

Dedication to the sales department.

Give that statue a raise.

Make him manager of sales.

Mr. Multi-Tool give you happy ending!

Haha asia seems like a liberating place to live

It would definitely be an inside job at that 9 eleven store.

Or maybe it's just an upgraded 7/11. One that's 1.281294 times better!

Funny content, man.

I suspect they knew! Free advertising, LOL...

Very informative :) Thanks! :)
