Something Got Lost In The Translation

I am glad that this thread is called 'Off Topic' because this is totally off topic, but I found this somewhat humorous.

Many of the shops in Thailand seek to attract English speakers, but sometimes their method of translating from Thai to English isn't quite up to standard. Here's an example. Somehow I don't think their advertising will win over the ladies.

Oh yeah, I see a lot of this when I travel to China. My favorite is a highway sign along the lines of, "BEWARE REAR END COLLUSION"... clearly a *completely* different meaning than they intended!

I like this one of the couple who seem to have waited a little too long.

Ha! No loss of meaning there, that's for sure!

Nothing gets lost in this translation.
