Just for laughs...

I've been slowly collecting funny English signs. So, I thought I  would start posting them for your reading pleasure. 
Quite entertaining, as many of us avid travelers can agree.


In Hakone, on the volcano, Owakudani. (Read carefully!)



Japan has a difficult time with consonant blends (br for example) since their alphabet is called a syllabary each character is a consonant plus a vowel, so it often leads to miss-spellings. (plus, check out all the weird flavors!)


This was the sign on a food item at a buffet lunch. Consequently, I didn't try it!



This was an add at the train station, clearly explaining the hazards of: cheating boyfriends, large teddy bears, high heels and long hair!

This was in the baking aisle of a grocery store:

Clearly it took too much effort to re-paint this sign!


A vending machine- of which there are more than you can imagine! At least one on every corner of every street I have ever been on in Japan!


A sign in front of a blocked path at a temple in Kamakura
