I want to know what the designer has against arms, and why the person in
the top row is apparently bursting to go to the bathroom.  (Maybe they're
stuck trying to choose between doors labelled 'pair of tweezers' and 'bell'.)

"Beware upside-down surprised pigs with mexican moustaches", perhaps?

I'd also like to understand how come the 'car' outline has a bit missing,
why the 'bed' and 'straightened-out paper clip' symbols are in circles, and
what a 'sleeping one-eyed pig' is doing between a 'caravan' and a 'can opener'.
