Engrish!

About a year ago at our house we discovered some very funny stuff called Engrish. Engrish is usually signage of some sort spotted in China or Japan and it's hilariously garbled.

Anyway, I've been visiting this blog and just this evening discovered the Engrish category of posts. And in the name of humility, might I just say that I have called myself a Japanese term that came very close to meaning "lazy" and thought, accidentally, that my friend wrote a thank-you note telling me to clean my nose when in fact she was telling me that the flowers I gave her were beautiful...
