Boastful Babushka

Here’s another clever sign from the delightful staff at El Arroyo. This sign draws inspiration from Russian dolls, also known as Babushkas, which are famous for nesting smaller dolls inside larger ones.

This nesting continues until you reach the smallest doll, which is practically impossible to open further. This is why the joke works so well: Russian dolls are literally “full of themselves,” yet paradoxically appear quite modest.
