Er, well, one more (funny) thing.

I’m waiting at the airport, where there’s a fair amount of funny English.  Here’s a few little gems to keep you smiling:

• In the duty free, all kinds of cigarettes have all kinds of warnings on them.  Marlboro is descriptive but somehow non-committal: Smoking Kills.  Dunhills are rather considerate: Smoking seriously harms you and others around you.  And Benson and Hedges are a little cheeky: “Smokers die younger.”
• A 2008 bottle of a South African chardonnay promises tastes of  “pear, lime and battered toast.”
• And my favorite, RwandAir’s travel magazine.  It rates some of the city’s high-end restaurants, not with a critic’s pick check mark, but with X’s.  Like this:

“Shokola – XXX”

Khana Khazana, our Indian palace, does best as a quadruple-X restaurant.  But no one who makes the list is anything less than triple-rated.  Just so you know.
