Drove by a house that had a sign that read For Sail.
I work with a young man who is now sporting a new expensive tattoo, one (he says) Chinese character. He told me what he was told it means. I asked him how he knew it didn't say "I got this sucker's money!" He wasn't amused. Anyway, its kind of a neat graphic, but would you get something tatooed on your body that you couldn't read yourself?
I told a guy his tattoo says "eat more chicken"

I was just at the 7-11 where a guy ordered something with "monetary jack cheese".
I could use some monetary jack myself

K..this scene from Pulp Fiction reminded me of this thread....
Jules: What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What country you from?
Brett: What?
Jules: What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
I am a big fan of Japanese notebooks, which usually have really nice paper.
Sometimes, though, they are a bit too "decorated" for my taste, and the little messages printed on every page can get a bit corny. This one wins the prize:

when i worked in a waterpark in the US i saw alot of 'chinese' tattoos... i saw a man with 10 characters on his nape and i couldn't figure out what it was (i read some chinese) I mean, my chinese isn't fantastic but I can read a simple newspaper. So i asked him what it was and he said it spelt out his childrens' names, sally and jason...
chinese characters are not letters in an alphabet. all characters have a complete sound and meaning...
so basically it was all pure rubbish..
I also had a girlfriend who had a random character on her back, which she said was love, but i knew for a fact it wasn't... but her response to that was that she didn't wanna go around thinking that the tattoo was a wrong one so she'd rather go on believing it was what she said it was.
after that i learnt to keep my mouth shut. I mean... it would be pretty tough to know u had some rubbish that u paid alot of money for tattooed permanently on yr body
as for the tattoo parlours, they don't care. I walked into one which had displayed its chinese characters upside down.. the salesgirl pretty much snorted when i told her they were upside down. they don't care. they just wanna make money.
