Get your beach body here!

     We took a lot of wrong buses in Rome. Most of the time it was okay because we weren't in a rush. We would just sit down with our map and figure out how to get to our destination using this bus route instead.
     One particular time when we were stuck on the wrong bus headed nowhere right, we saw a sign for an intriguing store.

"Hair & Body Store"

     The picture is terrible because we were on a moving bus... but it says the store is a "hair & body store." Which has so many deliciously preposterous interpretations.

     Do they sell hair and body accessories? Like hair ties and.... what are body accessories exactly? Clothes? Piercings?

     Then we thought it must be a wig store. People go there to buy hair, of course. But that still didn't solve the body issue. Unless... did they sell bodies?

     What kind of bodies? Selling live bodies sounds a little too human-trafficky but selling dead bodies isn't much better. They must not be real bodies?

     We finally decided that it was a store that sold different models of hair and body for people to wear like clothes. Wig type things, yes, but also beach bodies for girls. Muscle-y bodies for guys. Slim bodies for post-partum women. New bodies for old people. Any model of any type of body that you could magically buy and use. 

     It was a hilarious and confusing few minutes that we spent, distracted from our directions, trying to figure out the point of the store. They probably just sold toiletries or something. But a sign where so much can be interpreted incorrectly?
