When you're outside the U.S. or English speaking countries, you can find lots of funny translations. You understand what is trying to be said but it sounds so wrong :).

I don't have pictures of others that I've found, but a quick search on the internet brought up these priceless gems right here in Singapore. There was actually a contest to fix them. Singapore has been known to have campaigns to improve English speaking skills because a lot of locals speak Singlish - a mix of English and some dialect of Chinese (I think). Definitely makes it hard to eavesdrop :).
