Lost In Translation

Sometimes, meaning gets lost in translation:
In a Paris elevator: “Please leave your values at the front desk.”
In a Hong Kong supermarket: “For your convenience, we recommend courageous, efficient self-service.”
In a Rhodes tailor shop: “Order your summers suit. Because is big rush we will execute customers in strict rotation.”
In a Hong Kong tailor shop: “Ladies may have a fit upstairs.”
In Kyushi, Japan, on a Detour sign: “Stop: Drive Sideways.”
In a Copenhagen airline ticket office: “We take your bags and send them in all directions.” (Yes, they do!)
In an Acapulco hotel: “The manager has personally passed all the water served here.”







So, what is the sign of Spring? Well, so far it has NOT been many fish.
