A few years ago, in China, we came across an inscrutable sign that said : BLIND MASSAGE
Setting ourselves the task of decoding it's meaning, we reasoned that it could mean one of two things:
1. If you are blind, you can go here to get a massage
2. You get a massage by a blind person
Given that it was a printed sign, we reckoned it could not be 1) as that sign would need to be Braille or something. We were about to move on when a sudden, horrifyingly ridiculous third alternative emerged:
3. You get to massage a blind person
Could that even be possible? What would the blind person get out of it? What would you get out of it? The mind boggled.
Sounds ridiculous, but then look at this sign:
If one can have:
- The hand grasps the beef
- Steamed rolling wish oats flavor
- Domestic life soil beans a round mass if
- Syrup long chinese yam,
- Pingyao bowl gets wet bare
- Sour picked cababe with mound
- Burn the eggplant
- Bum [*nb- our favorite: short, sweet and insanely ridiculous]
- Burn the egggplant [*nb - That's right eggplant, burn! burn!!]
- The red flour rubs mound fights
- Orchid Zhou knife cut face
- Powder vegetables if water
etc...
then anything should be possible, even option 3!
ps - we never checked out the massage, but it turns out that option 2 was correct.
