The \u201cpork for takeaway only\u201d sign<\/strong> hung in front of the man\u2019s stall got many netizens wondering how he\u2019d serve his raw meat under normal circumstances.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the funny sign has sparked an Internet discussion, prompting netizens to share photos of other questionable takeaway products.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, Facebook user Nguy\u1ec5n Th\u1ecb Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng Quy\u00ean took to Th\u00e1nh Riviu<\/a> \u2013 a group where people exchange reviews about all things of interest \u2013 to share a funny picture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In it, a butcher is seen working behind his raw meat counter. In front of the stall, there\u2019s a handwritten sign that reads, \u201cPork. For takeaway only. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

As many netizens were quick to point out, the sign implies that if it wasn\u2019t for COVID-19 stopping dine-ins, his customers would have eaten the raw pork right at the stall.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the butcher didn\u2019t really think it through when he put up the sign.<\/p>\n

Regardless, his quirky mistake has prompted many people to share photos of funny takeaway signs they\u2019ve come across.<\/p>\n

A common picture shared by several commenters shows a sign that states \u201cHouse for sale.\u201d Underneath it, however, there\u2019s another note saying, \u201cfor takeaway only.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the note was added by the house\u2019s owner as a joke, or if it was a prank from an anonymous jester.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another Facebook user named An<\/a> shared a photo of a barbershop with a sign saying \u201ctakeaway haircut\u201d \u2013 again, likely a joke from the owner. We can see from the picture that this barbershop is located in B\u00ecnh Th\u1ea1nh District, Saigon.<\/p>\n

And it would seem many barbers share the same sense of humor as well, as other photos depict similar signs spotted at several other barbershops.<\/p>\n

Complimenting the joke, netizen Nguy\u1ec5n Ho\u00e0ng T\u00fa<\/a> posted a screenshot of a troll Facebook comment captured from somewhere.<\/p>\n

It reads, \u201cIn light of the pandemic situation, I provide takeaway haircut services to avoid large crowds. Simply leave your head at my shop, and I\u2019ll ship it back once I\u2019m done with your hair. No extra delivery charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, someone even took the time to draw a demonstration of this exact scenario, showing a barber tending to the hair of a severed head.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s impressive to see just how much effort people can put in for the sake of humor.<\/p>\n

Stay positive, and stay safe<\/h3>\n
