As a translator .. I think you will find the link amusing Bint!
Have a great day :)
Try
www.Engrish.com
Mostly Japanese but.. oh just click.
SBG, Manaf, thanks for the links! You know I have some sympathy when a sign has been incorrectly (and humorously) translated, as I know what a tough task translation can be. But I just loved the one on the Japanese site that said 'Today is under construction' - very profound...
cool :p
i love engrish.com, it always gives me a good laugh
cute!! i think i need a sign like this on a stick i can carry around w/ me!! :) and/or put it in the front yard to warn potential visitors... and the hubby!!!

Big Hug, Roberto
