Just the other day, Allan Keyes and I were in a wedding shop in the heart of Chinatown. Yes, there is a story there. Anyway, after my second or third hour there (at least) I had to use the bathroom. Hey, my bladder can only hold so much bubble tea. Anyway, this sign was posted on the wall:
I agree completely. Who needs to put up with that, whatever it is? I can only assume that this is what Mayor Bloomberg meant when he urged all New Yorkers to “speak grammar.”

This blog is for Mac, who sent in the first two pictures. He is a huge fan of bad translations, as am I. Check out my first bad translation blog here. You should also check out Mac, an awesome musician, great photographer, and all-around terrific guy right here at his Facebook page.
Here’s his first picture, from a package of food I urge you not to eat:
I love the fact that they are so upfront about the spit. I am sure that a great many people base their dining options on the spit count.
Up next, Mac has sent in a travel advisory.
I don’t know what that is but it looks like a train station to me. Of course, for all I know that could be a sushi bar or an anime factory. Either way, I am glad that the sign was there to clear things up.
This next sign comes to us from this very blog! (Yes! Someone reads this!)
They know something that I don’t. “Important reason?” “Tanks”? Something bad is brewing, but it is a comfort to know that the owners will be close in case we need them.
And is there anything more inconvenient than a tank?
And lastly, one more that I took myself but, unlike the one above, it has never been published here before. Behold! The debut of the Chinese menu fail!
That just sounds wrong. So very, very wrong.
