I can't help but smile when translations go astray. In Wales, virtually all road and street signs are bilingual, and many of the larger stores have bilingual signs indoors too. Mostly this is straightforward, but sometimes it goes gloriously astray, probably because someone has relied rather too heavily on Google Translate...

Lol Great story! Thanks for the share.
Not the same thing but this totally reminded me of:

Benny Hill produced some classic moments!
Have you ever come across the late Irish comic, Dave Allen? One of the funniest ever - not sure whether he made it in the US though.
I don't recall seeing him in anything in the US but I probably did catch some of his material while I lived in Germany, though I can't recall anything specific at the moment. I just watched some youtube clips and he's quite wonderful

I saw Dave Allen live in Cardiff many years ago. Laughed so much I wet myself!
Brilliant! It's an occasional occurence in Irish as well. I'll keep an eye out for the next humourous example I notice.
