Great little book of bad English. I had seen some of these before, but my favorite was:
In New York City: Marital Arts Studio
This is because there is a place on Ashland Avenue here in Chicago that I have driven past probably 10,000 times in my lifetime that is a dirty bookstore. It has a big sign that says "Marital Aids." EVERY TIME I pass that sign I think it says "Martial Arts." It's one of those silly mind tricks.
Thanks Rampallion for letting me in on this one before it starts its journey around the country!
"Today I Smoke, Today I Smoke Today I Smoke, Yes."

I thoroughly enjoyed this book--what word person with a sense of humor wouldn't? Before I sent it on its way to the next BookCrosser, I enjoyed it all over again by letting my daughter read it while she was in from Michigan this weekend. She has a great giggle, and of course, I made her read aloud the ones that really cracked her up. Now it's on its way to Missouri by first class mail.
Received via mail today. Thanks for sharing Rampallion.

What a funny little book. Here are a few of my favorites:
In a Tokyo ladies' room: Tidy HO!
On a faucet in a Finnish washroom: To stop the drip, turn cock to right.
In the window of a Swedish furrier: Fur coats made for ladies from their own skin.
At the Budapest Zoo: Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable food, give it to the guard on duty.

I will mail to Daidy tomorrow if I'm able to get her address tonight.

I haven't rated this book because, what can you say? My husband and I have enjoyed reading these. I could probably offer a few of my own from my ESL students.
Menu item on page one: "Cold shredded children and sea blubber in spicy sauce."
Hahahahahaha. We are driving around with this in the car to read at odd moments. More later.
