Ever heard of 'engrish'?

ok this is the deal.
I was at a little tourist shop in Liverpool with my mate once and i noticed he was having trouble breathing. Turns out he was just strugling for air through laughing so much! This is what he'd spotted.

it's a little piggy bank type thing.
You put your money through the slot* at the top, it falls through and spins on the little table in the middle. When it stops spinning, it drops into the bottom.
Simple enough, yeah?

Quite simple and a little tacky but not particularly funny...

until you see the instructions....

We bought it there and then just for the box...






* heh heh i said 'slot'

You just have to wonder why they even bother :roll:

I once bought a piece of oiled leather that was used to polish a pool cue...you should have seen the instructions on that. The English was fine but it read like it should have been on the back of a dirty movie.
