“Hey, Wang! How do you write “don’t touch” in English?”
“How the hell would I know?”
“Well, we’ve got to put something in English.”
“Why? Isn’t the symbol enough?”
“No, symbols are never enough. You also have to spell out carefully what they are symbols of .”
“Oh, all right. Just put “No Smoking.” Nobody will know the difference.”
