I was a beautiful baby, - what went wrong?
French hotels
« on: Friday 04 November 05 00:29 GMT (UK) »
Alleged quotes from French hotel brochures:



Visit the hotel restaurant where you will be well fed up and agreeably drunk.

There is a French widow in every bedroom offering delightful prospects.

Every day the maid will put clean towels and a new sh*t on the bed.

We regret that pests are not permitted in this hotel.

Recommend this hotel to your friends and we will give them what they deserve.

There is a staff at the reception 24 hours a night.



Any more?

This one is for real and I wish I had photographed it.  From TAME, the Ecuadorian national airline:  "Life vest under your seat" rendered as "Live best under your seat."
