He he he,
Yes most of the signs are funny, saw a lot in asia, but can't remember most.
One I remember in a restaurant:
"Meal with free drunks." Some make pretty sense if you translate when literary word for word, then they make sense in the language of the country. Some try to translate an expression word for word., like translating, "do not go out whenit rains cats in dogs" literary in another language would be funny. Some of the signs look pretty ok to me (guess i do not understand those)
