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

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.

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.
