The other day I got a restaurant menu in my mailbox at home. It is for Portofino's a German/Italian place here in town. The food is good, I ate their once... but now I am starting to have second thoughts, lol...
Last deployment my husband was in Iraq. He sent 3 blankets home that he purchased there. Before I washed them I looked at the tag and I could not stop laughing! Here is the tag, front and back:
Because you always want your blankets to belooked more beautiful! And use water... or not.
Do you have anything "Engrish" around your home? I would love for you to share!!!

I would love to be spoiled with your foot! Thank you!
We have a chinese place here that we call plicky up because you order they say "derivery or plicky up?"
Engrish. I've never heard it called that before. I love it! Thanks for adding a new word to my vacobulary. (I spelled it wrong, but I think I'll leave it! lol)
Those labels are hysterical!!
Next time you order from Portofinos be sure to order some Lambrusco! :)
That's hilarious! I'll have to hunt around, but I think I have an example of an air-soft gun instruction manual I found doing some college research. There was a lot of Engrish in it, but they also used the full technical description for almost everything, rather than the common name, like saying, "threaded hex head fastener" rather than "bolt".
I just did a whole stupid signs post, this tickled me. Is foot an Italian specialty now? LMAO
I could live in a place called Bumholder...
Cheers A

Hi Laura - Loved this..first time at your blog and you made me smile! I live in India so we see these signs all around - still doesn't stop us from laughing though. Like the time I saw an ad for a BRAS BAND (the kind that plays at weddings here - don't get naughty ideas!). Then there was a restaurant that sold FRIED FRANCS (that's French for prawns!!!!)I could go on........let me know if you are collecting - I will supply :))
