Well, okay, I will. From the Chinese Olympics, a sign that didn't translate quite right.


 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

You should have seen the signs all around the shipyard I was at in china. They did direct translations, and some of them were pretty funny.

  One of them was warning you to take care and only properly trained people could enter that area.

It said, dangers! Missionairies postioned people only! I have a picture of it somehwere.

For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

The Chinese government is trying to get rid of Chinglish in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Kinda sad because that's part of the Chinese charm.
