"Get me out! Send me back to my country!" (2)

There is a joke of the Filipinos that when we see bars resembling that of a prison cell, we say with dramatic emotions, "Get me out of here and send me back to the Philippines!" (Palabasin nyo ako. Ibalik nyo ako sa Pilipinas!)
When I see bars, I make fun of this by doing that joke. Even if I am on the outside of our gate, I shout and say these words.
This picture that I attached is another view of the refrigerator that has so many magnets. When I was there, I saw these magnets of 2 hands or fingers, so I asked the owner of the house if I can put the magnet in another place. When she agreed, I placed these ref magnets at the door of the fridge, so now, it shows a man inside the ref wanting to go out.
Do you have this ref magnet?

@ridingbet Actually, no flowers at all. Just landscapes from England, Ireland, Paris, German castles and some proverbs and sayings.

@ridingbet Oh my. I prefer the above to those. Because at least the above is silly and you wouldn't make a mistake of thinking it might be real. The gunshots... well, imagine if you saw those and assumed they were only stickers when in fact it was real? Giving new meaning to 'the boy who cried wolf'.

@ridingbet May be the only purpose is for decorations, but I have seen people using them to place a note on the door of the fridge.

@LadyDuck i believe that is the main purpose of ref magnets.it is to stick up a reminder.
