Mistranslations



Check out the sign above trying to tell you not to put toilet paper in the toilet.

The other two notable mistranslations that we've seen so far are:
1. "Shredded Dolphin" (on a tin of tuna... we think)
2. "Chicken with herpes" (on a restaurant menu... we didn't eat there)

I bet I sound like that when I speak spanish.
