Fun With Forgein Languages

[TorqueMonsterMT-01]

Let me say that this is in no way intended to offend anyone. Becauise I live in Japan, I see these funny uses of the English language every day.

I give a lot of credit to the Japanese because generally they speak English much better than I speak Japanese. For me, reading Japanese is out of the question.

Enjoy.

Near my apartment is a small park. On a tree in the park is a sign that says "Take a dog's excrament home with you".

I've never taken them up on their offer. I find it hard to believe that someone is giving away perfectly good dog shit without a catch!

A friend of mine once wrote a letter to an Italian company using a computer translator program. The company wrote back, in English, asking them to please write in English. They had no idea what he was asking or writing about.

I lived in Yokohama, Japan from 1985 to 1987. I often saw people wearing tee shirts and other apparel with nonsensical English words and the explanation I got was that they did not understand the language, so they would buy things with nonsense English printed on it just because they liked the shapes of the letters and thought it looked cool. So I would not be surprised to be walking through Isezaki-cho and see a teenager with a tee shirt which said in English "little bird has a shiny train, complete hammers grip jello", or something like that.

One day I saw a cute little boy about five years old walking down the street holding hands with his mother, who looked like a perfectly average and respectable young housewife. The little boy wore a black tee shirt and in while block letters it had the word "fuck" printed side by side, all over the shirt! I'm sue they had no idea, just thought that English was cool...

Bob;
You should get back over here someday. You wouldn't recognize the place. Of course the breasts are still small.:icon_redface:
