I especially like that Ninja sign there. :D
This reminded me of a picture I once took inside a toilet stall just awhile back. :D Thank god for my trusty digital camera, now I can take pictures even while doing the business! :D
The sign is funny if you can read Chinese.I dunno how to illustrate the funniness in English. :D If my readers can help, much appreciated! :D

where's the translation??
This sign is bilingual isn't it?!

Yes, but 來也匆匆, 去也沖沖, has a hidden meaning :D The plain English translation is not funny in that way :P
I actually read the English phrase first and I saw the Chinese one as the translated version.
SL
匆 = fast, quick, hasty
沖 = flush.
It's a good play of words.
The correct Chinese phrase supposed to be:來也匆匆, 去也匆匆. (Which means, "It comes and go in a flash")
The substitution of the word 匆匆 into 沖沖 (which sounds the same in Cantonese) makes the Chinese version funny.
So now it means, "You've come in a flash, flush before you go"
If you just translated the English into Chinese, it would just say 用後請沖厠, which is more commonly used.
Ms LaBean, I hope my interpretation suits your needs.
Yes!!! Thank you!!! that's what i mean :D
