Someone gave me this weird translation of a Japanese sign--there are so many native English speakers there who could've translated it correctly, but they went with this odd meaning...or they could've asked me to do it :)

Lol! That's funny!
Why don't you participate in Wordless Wednesdays with such pictures? I join with such pictures and it also helps me to get some new and fresh traffic ;)
Where/What is Wordless Wednesdays? I didn't take the picture--I wouldn't be surprised it it's already at engrish.com--there are lots of pics, etc there. I should shoot something here in Chicago and send it in.
