Roland's point above reminded me of a rather amusing poem by Nissim
Ezekiel, inspired by the signboards in Irani restaurants in Bombay.
“Irani Restaurant”
Instructions:
Do not write letter
Without order refreshment
Do not comb
Hair is spoiling floor
Do not make mischief in cabin
Our waiter is reporting
Come again
All are welcome whatever caste
If not satisfied tell us
Otherwise tell others
God is great.
