This, the last inadvertently funny English-language shop sign before the August break, is not in English and is not a shop sign. But one out of three is still better than François Hollande’s approval rating.

This is the hand-scribbled menu outside a restaurant run by someone who is never going to win the French National Spelling Bee (L’Abeille Nationale d’Envoûtement). I wonder if whoever made it noticed later that “Camembert is spelled wrong and said, “Oh, burger!” David Jaggard
