[lojban] Illogical English Sign
At the hospital where I work, there is a sign in the bathroom which
reads, in part, "...Note: Those identified not washing your hands
after bathroom use may be approached by your coworkers. You can avoid
this embarrassment!" This makes the logical part of my brain laugh
every time I read it. Translating that into lojban we get ".i ju'i .i
lo na'e lumci be lo xance be do be'o bei ba'o lo nu pilno le lumku'a
cu ba jai se tolzau la'acu'i lo kansa be do bei lo nu gunka .i do
kakne lo nu rivbi le za'i se burnygau" It seems to me there are
several billion people who don't wash MY hands after using the
bathroom (their using, or my using? It's not clear). I don't really
care if my coworkers approach them, nor am I really sure if my
coworkers would. And how would that embarrass me?
