I got gas installed in my house a few years back and one of the stickers put up by the fitters read 'If you smell gas at home'. I thought it funny if you were to punctuate this sentence to read 'If you smell, gas at home'. In other words 'If you are a bean eater, you needn't fart while out in public'!

I have to say some people can be comical as I witnessed an incident in a butcher's where the shop assistant handed over a piece of meat requested for and politely asks 'that will be 10 euro please' only for the woman who was buying the joint of roast to turn around and scornfully say in a flat Dublin accent to the guy 'would ya ever feck off, where d'ya tink I'd get 10 euro for a piece of meat from?'. The man backs down and submissively says 'okay then, 8 euro'. The lady proceeds to take a 10 euro NOTE out of her purse and have the cheek to wait around for the 2 euro change!!
