Every Jealous is a killer, and other Ghana-izms

Here are a bunch of great photos from the streets of Ghana - borrowed from Arnold Quainoo Junior, courtesy of facebook - thanks for the laughs AQJ!!!



Sometimes a spelling error of just one letter can be tragic!





This one, although both cute and funny, is actually sad as well, since it speaks to the state of the Ghanaian public education system...





This is wrong on so many levels...





It can be scary if you miss one letter!





So you'll only need the place for 40 days then? Yes, starting on Ash Wednesday.





Every jealous is a killer.





Well, they did fix the E in MENU....





The spelling error for electrician could be explained away, but BATTLE CHARGER??





No doubt straight from China to the shores of Africa. No one will notice the minor difference!





Well I don't think they even needed the words for this poster...

Precious Ladies Ass



I guess Ghana specializes in alternative, green computers or uses these methods to repair regular ones??!




Some phrases just shouldn't be abbreviated...




This place is gone now, but I'm happy someone got a photo of the sign. Naming your pub and Internet cafe Virus is just wrong on multiple levels. Maybe they died of one such virus...






Ghanaians can sleep anywhere it seems - on narrow benches, traffic medians, work desks.. but the goats take the cake! Only Ghana goats can make an overstuffed roof of an ancient mini van (tro tro) look peaceful... sweet dreams!

(I've recently discovered a facebook page where various travellers and volunteers put up photos of the things you can only see on the streets of Africa. Some of the Ghana ones above... these things I will definitely miss when I leave the motherland...)
