Oh my! A leaking elevator! Or just a veeerrrry slooooow one? Best to visit the rest room before pushing the button!

I saw a poster in Wales this summer announcing "Stoned Baked Pizzas". I wonder if the bakers threw stones at the pizzas, or were drugged when they baked them, or maybe put more herbs than just oregano on them, or ... :confused:

I also found
"during the arrival and departure of the Hyatt"

amusing. Really? The hotel is arriving and departing? What if it's not back yet when I need to check in? :D

Oh man - thank you for the reminder to check in at engrish.com every once in a while. I need a good laugh like that occasionally.

Sometimes, the simplest of things are the most difficult.

I've been re-writing copies of our web pages which I'm coding... I'm just so numb... So I can understand these idiotic mistakes. And sometimes spell checks can be very dangerous.

Good laugh though...
