Happy Chlamydia!

Whence Happy Chlamydia? Choose from the answers below:

a) Bacterial admonition: e.g., "Bad dog!", "Happy chlamydia!"
b) Farewell surprise from your ex: serene country road turns out to be I95. Happy Chlamydia!
c) Girls Gone Wild meets Extreme Home Makeover: prurience weds painful - Happy Chlamydia!

Sad to let you down, but the answer is none of the above. In fact it is plain dyslexia. As I walked around the old market in Siem Reap, this is how I misread a simple sign that said "Happy Cambodia". The linguistic dangers of calligraphy meeting the farang tongue.
