Since you interpreted this sign with "contextual clues", are you sure you read it correctly? Just remember that in Spanish, Embarazada means pregnant, not embarrassed, that if you ask where to buy a dag in Israel, you'll be pointed to the nearest aquarium, and in French, anon is a baby donkey, not an alcoholic at his five o'clock meeting.
I don't think I should have to give out my SSN to get a phone either, but that's another story.
