What might be going on there is anybody's guess. One sure thing is that by posting the picture here, IronH4WK has made the signboard a butt of some jokes.

This is where Condor takes those members who are "Condored"

Probably the best way to fine for no parking. You solve DUI issue.

Guys, the sign commented upon almost certainly relates to "butt" in the context of a "firing range". A simple Google "firing range butt" would enlighten. English language to blame.... multiple meanings of words.... sorry to spoil the merriment...

Well I never. Not a context I ever knowingly came across before, but, Google Define, expand the definition and it is there. I always wondered about Chennai's Butt Road.

Something learned, Thanks Rakkum13.

I should probably have posted this in the What ails our Higher Education Institutions? thread

Worried that things have fallen to a new low? Just chill and have a glass of lemon juice.

Excremental education!

And Shri Bharati English Medium High School absolutely requires a hyphen. English-medium or Medium-high... Their choice!

(And I'm still baffled. What do they think they meant by excretion?)

They wouldn't want theirs to be a hyphenated
existence. Hence the preference for free running nomenclature

.

By Excretion, they obviously mean Excursion. Anyway, both words mean getting out, so a forgivable mistake. Don't you think?

No. It's obviously a primer to a doctorate in coprology.

Oh, I see. I was thinking it an advertisement for the school, perhaps on the school bus. I considered "excellence," which is a trendy marketing word, but couldn't see how they could get it that wrong.

Excursion is a better match. I think you have it right!

If you look at the bus in the picture, you will notice a Casual Contract board. Middle class schools typically hire KSRTC buses to take their children out for picnics/short tours. Smaller or economically challenged ones make do with Tempo Trax, TATA Magic etc.

In fact, one of the perks of studying in a government run school in Karnataka is the opportunity to visit various tourist-historical places through a scheme called Karnataka Darshan.

Saw this sign at the Indian Oil bunk at Gottigere, Bannerghatta Rd, which happens to be right beside a Shell bunk.

A horrible mistake.

They mean fiction and non-fiction books.
