Save the 'Safe'

I saw a towel which is sold in one of the popular departmental stores in Singapore.
It says "She will make you save and happy."

I believe that the word 'save' here is a correct choice only if the towel is one that can encourage people to start saving money. Otherwise, 'safe' would be a better word as it matches 'happy'. Both words are adjectives.

Direct translation at work again!




Do not get on and off while machine is moving! Found on many kiddy rides in Singapore. Just to warn you in case you have these small and cute people asking you cute questions.



I saw the smaller sign first. I then saw the bigger sign. The mistakes were done on purpose. They served their purpose well in grabbing passers-by attentions.
