Translations Going Wrong

[kikie]

Translation going wrong are translation from different language into English. I'll post a few and will post other translations going wrong later on.

Don't be shy, if you have example of your own, don't hestitate to post them and make us laugh.

• Take one of our horse-driven city tours - we guarantee no miscarriages

• We take your bags and send them in all directions.

• Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of 9 and 11 A.M. daily.

• The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.

Hope you enjoy these translation going wrong. More to come. Don't forget to post your own translations going wrong.

Someone post those Chinese-bumper-stickers. You know the ones, they're in one of the funny-images thread.
