Why Two Heads Where One Will Do?
I mean, I suppose I should really be off researching a challenging question posed by Bacchus in his recent post on twittering but before I get to this, I just have to share an image that showed up in a routine feature in the UK newspaper The Telegraph as part of their humorous “Sign Language” series of curious images found by Telegraph readers abroad.
The Italian text means something like “service here without tails.” Beyond that, I do not know what it means.
All I could think about was that it served as a fine graphical illustration of a point made by Bacchus in a classic post of his.
Bonus: I found this essentially at random following a link at Pharyngula which leads to a Telegraph story the interest of which is almost transparent for an ErosBlog audience.

Uh.
That would mean “Service without queues here”, but I can’t understand what it is about for the life of me.
Lara has the translation right, but I, too, am flummoxed by the image.
Maybe the head going around in a circle connects to an idiom that represents waiting.
Or maybe it is someone’s sign-design art project.
Either is means seat yourself and don’t wait for the hostess, or that our customers are dickheads. Bon Appetit’.
I thought it means, No Dickheads allowed.
