Funny Signs or Poorly Translated Signs

~Candy~ · 16-Jul-2005, 06:12 PM #1

Hola folks, like most of you know, I just got back from a trip to China as well as a cruise from Honolulu thru some small islands. They try their best to help the gringos understand the meaning of their signs. I have a bunch that I will start to post. Please feel free to add your own signs too, I'm sure even in the US of A there are still some funny signs

Here is one. It was on a riverboat cruise on the Li River in China.

Don't think I would have thought of it though

This was in the Hong Kong airport

I think it was a box for an airport customer survey.

An old Prof is turning 60!

60 does sound old, but he doesn't look it!

Helps that he has red hair so he isn't turning gray!

Just took a picture. Didn't want anyone yelling at me in a language I can't understand

But, I must admit, I did think of my cat when I saw it

I used to collect funny signs from National Lampoon and scanned them and made a screen saver out of the best ones.

This is just one I have on my pc that isn't from NL. You can delete it, Candy, if you think it might offend anybody.

I don't mind.

Thanks monkeymoon, I think, under the circumstances, that shouldn't be offensive to anyone. I'm going to leave it. If anyone reports it, then we'll deal with it accordingly.

Thanks for the contribution

I was in Santa Cruz, CA this past week on vacation. WHile walking along the pier, I spotted a sign that said "No Crabbing or Fishing"........I put my son on one side of the sign and my daughter in front of the "or Fishing"........Now it is a picture of my kids in front of a sign that says "No Crabbing".......That picture is going to be blown up and placed on the refrigerator
