Show & Tell: Malaprop
Roger and I came upon this scene one day while touring the Syrian countryside, circa 1997:

That's a great photo! And I love how English words are mangled in other countries. Quite entertaining.
That photograph made my day.
What a great picture and I love the dichotomy between the bus's name and its fate.
Oh, dear! I hope they got it going again. I'm sure it /used/ to live up to its name! :)
Happy Jurney, indeed!
Oh the irony! Great photo!
That is funny (the name but not the accident) !
great picture, but that poor bus! i hope all worked out and the bus got going again.
Reminds me of the kooky T-shirts my sister sends from Japan...
Maybe it's just the mood I'm in, but I am laughing my @$$ off at that picture!!
You are such a world traveller.
Love the photo! You all have visited some amazing places.
The irony of it all!
Too funny!
