Mobile Puncher

Saw this first on Gandhi Mandapam Road. A scooter tyre hung from a nail driven into a tree, with the sides of the tyre painted in yellow all round. The words "Mobile Puncher" are then painted on the yellow band, with a mobile number appearing underneath it.

In case you got it wrong, "Mobile Puncher" doesn't punch mobiles to pieces. In case your vehicle has a puncture, then you can call up the number advertised and they come and rectify the tyre. Such ads have now proliferated all over the city and are now found in many places.

Yep, you got it right. It should read "Mobile Puncture".

It shows the callousness of the state administration towards the literacy of the state. The craze and race the Government showed towards having mandatory 'Tamil' boards is clearly missing in stipulating them to have grammatically correct sentences in the name boards.
