Crass but wise

THEME DAY: FUNNY SIGNS • This sticker was on the dashboard of a taxi I rode more than three weeks ago and I've been hanging on to it just for today. The black text on the yellow background is the funny part; the smaller white text on the black background is just the radio station's tag line. Without peeking at the translation below, can you guess what the sign says?

No Farting sign on taxi dashboard


"No farting!!!"

    This is good advice for a cab with closed windows.

    Must be something of a problem in Manila! But, hey, what's air conditioning for?

    One must therefore find another way for the "chemistry" between eachother.
    Please have a nice start into the new month.

    Maybe, that is why the cab drivers in the UK are often separated from the passengers.

    Well, if one must fart, it is best that the fart be fully air conditioned - because it is certainly likely that the fart will (ahem) fully condition the air!

    Before I looked at the translation, I figured out it was something to do with "passing gas". Very funny Hilda! I hope your trip is going well.
