Engrish in your daily life - sandwiches mastered

My favorite local new and used bookstore just added a new section, with a nice sign:

Used Children

On our last homeowners' insurance application, we had to certify that we owned no "viscous dogs."

They're all in doggie heaven now but at the time, one of them did drool pretty profusely.

We took our chances and the insurance company is none the wiser.

OMG, I just spent 20 minutes shaking with uncontrollable laughter here at my desk (you notice how it's always more funny when you shouldn't be laughing?) at "viscous dogs".


At my last company, they had a sewer issue (very, very low building and a very high water table). It was an engineering company where there were very few women. Apparently, once a month, the system backed up because I guess all of the women were on the same menstrual cycle. One day, a nicely printed sign (someone obviously paid for them) showed up on the inside of all the stall doors in the two women's bathrooms:

"Please dispose of all sanitary materials in ceptical. Do not flush."

"Please dispose of all sanitary materials in ceptical. Do not flush."

I guess that's because the can in which you are supposed to dispose of all sanitary materials is being used for the first time.....compared to a ceptical that is being used again.....a.k.a. REceptical??

Someone on another cycling forum wrote about be chased by "viscous dogs" once and I had the same reaction. I sat at my desk and laughed and laughed. Anyone who walked by probably thought I was having a breakdown. Normally I don't worry over other people's typos, its easy to make them, but it was sooooo funny I had to write back that they couldn't have been very fast as they oozed their way towards him......

I'm so glad someone revisited this thread. It has had me in stitches all morning.

When I was going to the main campus of my college for a semester, I overheard two culinary students talking about going over to see Ted lick. A few weeks later, I had to park out back on the other side of the campus. On my way to class, I look up and in big letters all over the side of a building it said "C. Ted Lick Conference Center". I always got a giggle fit everytime I had to walk by there.

As for Blinded By The Light, I didn't know what they were saying either until I heard Springsteen sing it. (he wrote it too) It wasn't as much fun after I knew the real words, so I still sing about a douche just cuz...

When I was a clinical student, a group of us were hanging out at the end of the shift, playing some music. Brick House came on and everyone started dancing around and singing. Marty, a tech, brought down the house when she belted out "She's a pimp... Owwww!!!"

I imagine training a viscous dog to heal would be a no brainer. Everywhere you go, there she is, stuck to your calf. But in a nice way.

Either that, or they drooled all over him. I think Sarahlou's little dog Loulou might be seen by some as "attacking viscously". She's a very avid licker.

Is her name Ted? I'd like to see that.
