Only in South Africa

I often wonder about things as I drive to work. It takes me at least an hour and a half to drive 15 kilometres to my office, and it gives me a lot of time to ponder and watch the world go round.

Lately, I have started to amuse myself by looking at ironic Taxi advertising. Some taxis in this country are mini buses that are painted with various advertising, but the irony comes in with what the slogans say. I wonder if anyone else has ever laughed out loud?

Here are a few that you will only understand if you have been here, and encountered the taxi driver cultlre in SA:

Doom insect spray: Fast, Deadly (not kidding either)
Eno antacid salts: Gets to work in 6 seconds...
Nike: Please to beat you (also true)
