Powderful Engrish

As China prepares for the upcoming Olympic games, the government as well as some ingenious retailers have decided to make their signs more tourist friendly. The results are as follows. Totally hilarious. Wonder how much it would have cost them to get professional translators.




Now, who would willingly accept a strangler's invitation


The poor pool boy will have to take a break


Yes, I'll treasure it and keep it safe. China souvenir.


A challenged buffet.


This is where you meet stranglers


If only our rears are that juicy.


Yes, especially those stranglers



Like they say, it is good to tie up loose ends before dying


Users beware. If you insult it, it will turn around and s*%&w you!!



...cooked with a lot of heart :-)



Pregnant women above 70 should certainly get special treatment. Maybe in the Guiness Book of World Records?



Please don't unless you're into kinky stuff.


Be serious at all times.


Hmm..maybe the books contain a detailed description of what LOTR hobbits do in their spare time?



Yes...especially when in China as not everyone is as tall as you.



Huh?


Yes yes, please market this to all the wives out there. Beats saying "I've got a headache dear".


Oh don't be so harsh on the Chinese.....if we had to translate to mandarin we'll probably get it wrong as well.


Safe for export. Who says China toys are poisonous to American kids ?


Please try to be in trouble if not the poor receptionist will be bored.


Drink and be merry. But refrain from sex after that. You may produce cubs.



Who says you need translation to convey a message. A graphic picture says it all.


Think of the kind slip to execute before slipping. Choose the careful type.
