Lost in translation

When I was younger, I spent a couple of months travelling around Japan, and I remember a bowling alley in Kyoto had a sign which read, "Let's knock down all the pins and get hot communication!" I'm not sure what it meant, but I'm pretty sure the original meaning was lost in translation.

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at more signs from around the world where the 'Engrish' version has been lost in translation.
