Funny warning labels!

I love: Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is operating.
on mixers. I'm sure at some time some idiot got their tongue mangled by sticking it in the spinning blades.

When I worked in a daycare center (20 years ago) we had some cheesy, generic Magnadoodle Boards.  The box they came in had all kinds of mangled instructions and warnings but the one I still remember is "Don't make hurt with niddles."

At my current job I picked up a gallon size bottle of cleaning solution in the janitors cupboard.  It says on the bottle, "Read all instructions before using this product.  If you cannot read find someone to read the instructions to you."

Those of you getting a kick out of the bad translations on products just might want to check out http://www.engrish.com/ for a good laugh.

Oh, I love Engrish.com! My favorites are 'No Smorking' and the 'mouse watering sandwich' ad.

(and for those of you not comfortable with giggling at the hash non-native speakers can make of the language, they offer links to Japanese sites compling ways English speakers have put Asian languages through the blender. Wish I could read Japanese....)

I remember reading about baby food and some 3rd world country...I don't remember which one. Apparently, a relief group sent over a bunch of baby food jars...you know, like the gerber kind, with the cute little baby on front? But apparently in this country, since not many people can read, they put pictures on the labels of what's inside. The whole country was shocked that the relief group would send them pureed  baby.

Can't.....stop....laughing.....
