Look, look! Look at all the funny things happening around Buenos Aires
When I lived in Los Angeles, I loved reading a column in the L.A. Times on the funky things a reporter and readers found around town, from centimeter-wide parking spots to misspelled signs. Buenos Aires has its share, no doubt. I probably walk by them every day without seeing the fun in it all. Yet over the past week, a few have caught my attention. They are the names of companies and associations that in English would raise a few bells… or chuckles.
Here they are:
Arse Speed Wash – This is the city’s very own quick-ass car wash complete with a bidet
The Conman Association – I can only presume this is a bankers association, or at least for those from the departments that create all those pesky fees and surcharges and additional costs on our accounts and credit cards
Excon Group – I’m all for community reinsertion so this company gets a 10 for honesty
Extra-Tax Taxis – This is the cab service that works for the benefit of the state by collecting more in taxes
It’s all in a day’s walk around Buenos Aires.
Funny story. You should take pictures of the signs and include them with the story.
Good idea, maybe Brantlea could comeback and take them for him! lost your keys lately??
