International Signage

Yeah, I get the usual ones about No Smoking, etc. But I am confused by more and more of these signs, as they tend to be a bit more complicated than the usual red circle with the stick figure. In fact, some adverts are now including them, so I need the help of the international crew here at NS General to help me decipher what some of these mean.

Here's the first one:

I'm guessing that's "Dogs must be carried on escalators". Though what you do if you don't have a dog is anyone's guess.

Yep, I'm fully aware of how old and bad that joke is.

Step by step:
1) Red Triangle, so it's a warning.
2) Lightning, so either electrocution or frequent lightning strikes (could be very valid at the top of a mountain that often gets lightning storms).

End result:
Risk of Electrocution! :D

Depends on the current and tension.

This one is oddly self explanatory. Apparently it was spotted in Catalonia. *nod*

To be fair, I would assume that male homosexuals are more likely to do it doggy style more than heretosexual couples.

But of course, not only they do it ;)

Why would you assume something as silly as that?

Well, it isn't missionary, so it cannot be a hetero couple.

Hetero sex can't really be that ruttish. If it is, then all our propaganda is true! :eek:

Homosexuals are more flexible than heterosexuals. They can do it in nearly any position that you can think of. It's science.
