Funny Signs
One of the best parts about speaking English when almost no one else does is that we can point funny shirts out to each other without anyone getting offended. Then no one has any idea what we are laughing about.
I hope you've laughed a lot, since we sure did.
It is also funny to see the same thing translated differently in the same location. For example, we have seen "fire extinguisher" and a little bit further down the hall "hire extinguisher", and a little bit further a different rendition of the same translation.
