When Even ONE meter DOES matter!!!

We're transferring at Gongdeok Station (line 5 & 6) when we encountered this funny sign. 
The pictures speaks for itself.^^
I wonder whether it was meant for a real purpose of indicating direction or just for FUN.^^
Either way it INDEED works.^^

Practice Your English....Help Homeless Animals

Well, I bumped into this funny ad posted on the wall  at campus. Of course, it struck me for sure. 'Wait...what? 
I wonder what it means...^^ of course I was laughing out of my curiosity as to how we could communicate with animals....to improve our English.^^
hehehe..it turned out that...it was ( I think ) deliberately written in such a way to attract people into reading it. And it DID.
just like what I did. I even took a picture out of it. hahahahahaha
Well, it turned out that we could meet other English speaking friends (a.k.a. pet lovers)while taking care of the homeless animals at some sort of animal shelter.

FUnny sighns

This is just a snapshot of a shoe-store at an H station--the very station where start and end our journey through subway everywhere we go around Seoul. This station connects with a small bus called 마을버스  (maeul beoseu) or literally translated into 'village bus' which funnily does not operate in villages, but in cities like Seoul. Anyway, I'm not going to write about this so-called 'bus ndeso'.
Instead,
we got a very funny sign right here in this very spot when we were passing this through. At a first glance, one may not find it strange, but if we take a closer look at the picture.....
something 'outrageously funny' is visible, right here.
Can anyone guess what it is......?

Signophile 'I love funny signs'

Another hunting time for me:
Wait.......I just want to make it clear..that I am not good at English...NO, AND I AM NOT ....simply because I love hunting the grammatically incorrect or misspelled English does not necessarily mean that my English is good, let alone perfect. Never have I had the slightest idea that my English is good. Moreover, I am not an English native speaker....^^
So, I love taking pictures or jotting down what I found funny when it comes to English.
I found a lot of (endless I guess) misspleed (on purpose) English in Indonesia. Now that I live in Korea, I also keep on doing what I like......
This is the fun part of being always on the go.....^^
So, the other day..I also found some of these funny stuffs ...

so, let's see what's funny right here: 
- take care the drop ( the drop?? what is this 'drop')?
- for an accident happended (?) (it's obvious)
- by your fault? (of course it would be our own fault^^)


I guess for those of you who might have interest in grammar, you may find it a bit shaky...in the way that the 'gerund' is missing right here. Well, I am not good at English, but...I guess it should've been like ' After buying....'
and then....it does not stop there....coz I do not understand the whole point of the sentence..
after a long consideration, I understand that what it meant was....
After buying a ticket, please use your ticket (to get into the park or to take the ride, etc)...I guess so...


hmmmm.....a 'transfortation' 
a transfortation of our ancestors??? what...is a 'of' or 'for'? 
Anyone can help?


Ouch, I do not want it to happen to me..^^
It sounds like 'May God Bless You' 
since the word 'may' is put right in front of the sentence...
It looks like...... hoping for something to happen...^^


unnecessary usage of auxiliary verb ' may + can ???
