Mystery Sign(9) What exactly does this sign say? Now solved!

Here is Mystery Sign number 9 - solved by Koalasan!


This is a sign I have encountered from my everyday life - fill in the gaps word-for-word with exact spellings as displayed on my "Mystery Sign". The winner will be the first accurate unedited post.


And yes, this challenge has a "three-hour rule" applying to it.. The gist of my "three hour rule"? If you're a native English speaker you can certainly comment - but don't post an answer, or any clues, until three hours after my original post. Let the members learning English/non-native English speakers have a crack at it first - then everyone else can chime-in. So I'll have to leave that up to your good judgement because, aside from the usual suspects, I don't know who is learning English on this site, profiles don't always "let on". And so you guys learning English - you've got a head-start of three hours!


You can post multiple times. However, if, after you've posted, you realise that you've made a spelling error, or changed your mind about a word, re-post the whole answer, don't edit your original post.

Y Gilligalue, leí tu perfil y dime, estoy curiosa, "a bird that can fly backwards" -¿tengo razón o no? - nonombre, May 29, 2011
My grandpa told me that. I just looked it up, there IS a children's song about a Gillygaloo bird! She does some strange things, but she doesn't fly backwards. ☺ - Gillygaloo, May 29, 2011

"I know how you know...but that should not be done hanna, we do these mystery things without googlingwink So next time, dontwink" - Heidita

Hey Heidita, I didn't use Google.


This is what I sent to Annie, and it is true:

"I see a sign that looks EXACTLY like that every few months!!! Do you ever have this thing where you know someones name or something, but just when you REALLY need that name you have forgotten it? Well that is what happened, I had a memory block for 5 hours!"

And then when I saw your post I remembered it! (yes, fine, you were right! You did give me a clue, haha)

Cheers
