But It’s A Dry Heat
The annual Burning Man festival has been a thing since 1991 so you’d think folks wouldn’t take the name too literally. You’d think… but there’s always that guy or gal who either doesn’t think, or overthinks, or over-drinks, and thus there’s a need for signs like the one above.

Gotta fly in your soup? Don’t expect much sympathy from the wait staff as “tipping” is prohibited – and strictly so, at that. What’s that you say, tipping is England English for dumping?

So Incense-ative
This notice posted by the management of a Hong Kong building bars the burning of incense and joss sticks (a form of stick incense burned to memorialize the departed).

A sort of circular firing squad, one might say. (image via David Woo)
Beds R Burning
Can’t sleep, flames will eat me? We knew Kuwait was a hotbed of er, something or other – and signs like the one above only serve to bolster our suspicions. So, like, don’t spread rumors maligning a nation’s nocturnal sheep-counting pastimes and do feel free to burn the Midnight Oil in lovely Kuwait! (image via jon d)
