That's a great one, and an excellent idea! Menus are hilarious, too. I ran into a couple of really strange ones in Northeast China. The best sign I ever saw was on the front of a bar in Beijing. It said, "No nuclear bombs, please." Weird, eh? Looking forward to the next one, Graham. Thumbs up! That’s a great one, and an excellent idea! Menus are hilarious, too.

I think I will be having a lot of fun with this, hopefully you all will too! @Stevo: Yeah, technically it's English. But I'm sure you know there are so many more signs that use English but are totally wrong in every way. I have a great one coming up, so look forward to that. @EG: Maybe I just have a knack for finding funny signs? Too bad it's not a talent I can exploit for monetary gains. Or can I.... @Linz: I'm trying my best to find the humor. There are so many things here in China that make me want to tear my hair out. But I want to focus on the good, not the bad. And besides, no one wants to just read about my complaining all the time, do they? @Laura: I’m glad for the approval. I think I will be having a lot of fun with this, hopefully you all will too!

They are truly hilarious. Oh the questions... who translated this? Did they speak fluent English? Perhaps they did, but thought the literal translation was funnier? Or maybe they didn't, and they can't understand why everyone keeps laughing at their sign? Glad to see someone is finding a little humor in their travels!

Props for that. At least they made an attempt at using English. Props for that.
