Instructions translated to English

[nachoman]

I had a desk calendar that was mostly funny english translations on asian signs. Actually, I think there is a website covering that topic. Anyway, that got me thinking if things translated from english into another language are equally comical. For instance, people that get asian character tattoos. How do they know their permanent tattoo is not saying something absurd, and that if they took a trip to asia, they would be laughed at?
