Engrish in your daily life - sandwiches mastered

Reminds me of the ad I saw somewhere for a place called Sofa King:
Our prices are Sofa King low.

Same disclaimer as TsPoet: if anyone finds this too offensive, I'll be happy to delete it.

I think the creators of the ads should be slapped silly. But the ad is serving the purpose, getting the name of the company out. Just not in very good taste.

The question is, are they doning it on purpose? I think Sofa King had to, our thought is Soup King didn't, but who knows?

Unless they just got off the boat, I bet one of the family members is under the age of 25 and bamboozled the older folks. Me thinks they had to know. But I could be wrong, and will eat crow if need be.

Two things came to mind that never fail to make me chuckle whenever I think of them.

Saw a sign in a Dairy Queen Brazier restaurant some years ago for "fried clamps." Yummy!

A sign near the door of a local grocery store in north-central Pennsylvania read "Ho-made bread." Thought that was an admirable partnering of two of the world's oldest professions.

Humor is everywhere (intentional or not)!
