10 Amazing Engrish Fails

2. You Are My Love My Angle Don't Treat Me Like Potato

Rsz 5ltls Number 2 gives more Engrish bang for your buck - 5 nonsensical quotes for the price of one! These look like the generic plastic plaques that moody teenagers and self-proclaimed hilarious fathers attach to their bedroom doors, most likely sold in a seedy Oriental market. Due to the amount of quotes, we will focus on our two favourites, so that we don't bore you. Don't say we're not good to our readers. "No Smoking I Will Crazy" is a bold statement indeed. It conjures images of a guest with poor peripheral vision lighting up a nice, relaxing cigarette, causing the host to fly into a Hulk-esque rage. It almost seems viable that the guy was getting so angry at those pesky smokers while writing the sign that his brain's language centre shut down, to direct all vital resources towards his rage-producing processes. Now for the title piece - "You Are My Love My Angle Don't Treat Me Like Potato." We're a big fan of the fact that they totally ignored punctuation, but remembered the all important apostrophe in don't. Most of this is easily decipherable - You are my love, my angel. makes sense. Until the potato enters the picture. What the hell does a potato have to do with love and angels? Besides, how do you treat somebody like a potato? The typical way that we react when confronted with a potato is to devour it hungrily. Have we been getting love wrong all these years?
