    Being drunk and insane is permissible as long as you look presentable? I guess Charlie Sheen’s all set then.

    It’s so hard to walk through all this baleful biology…

  3. SF | 4:18 am |  Vote: Add rating 19  Subtract rating 1  

    Does a mother-in-law qualify as baleful biology?

    I love the smell of effluvium in the morning.

    It all makes sense to me except for the picture of a can of Lemon Pledge.
    Is dusting forbidden in the Tower?

    “I’m sorry, sir. You’ll have to leave your sword with the security officer at the front desk. You can pick it up on your way out.”

    Excuse me, where’s the cubage of liquid machine? My liquid article won’t accept examination without it.

    We’re having bangers and match tonight, followed by baleful biology in an effort to clear the pollution from our inner environment and produce much cubage of peculiarly smelling effluvium.

    My germs don’t bite. Can I enter now?

  11. Jellychop | 5:12 am |  Vote: Add rating 17  Subtract rating 0  

    Look closely at the photos.
    I can see prohibiting “articles which can destroy and pollute the inner environment”, but why single out Lemon Pledge?

  12. DrZos | 5:13 am |  Vote: Add rating 10  Subtract rating 0  

    No interlopers? Oh well… Aunt Bessie, you have to wait here, we’ll pick you up on our way out.

    You’ve posted what appears to be a past incarnation of the sign a few years ago, at http://www.engrish.com/2009/11/entering-the-tower/ . I’m wondering now if both signs still exist, or this one replaced the old one. Evidently, the “baleful biology” phrase still persists.

    In my opinion, this is more like ‘Notes for NOT entering the Tower’.

  40. Samuel Robles | 4:21 pm |  Vote: Add rating 0  Subtract rating 0  

    “So… do you guys have banger-check or what?”
