The level of English in non-English speaking countries not only leaves
much to be desired, but humorous:

In a Japanese hotel: You are invited to take advantage of the
chambermaid.

On the menu of a Swiss restaurant: Our wine leave you nothing to hope
for.

Outside a Paris dress shop: Dresses for street walking.

From the Soviet Weekly:
There will be a Moscow Exhibition of Arts by 15,000 Soviet Republic
painters & sculptors. These were executed over the past two years.

In a Rome laundry: Ladies, leave your clothes here & spend the
afternoon having a good time.

On the door of a Moscow hotel room:
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THE USSR, YOU ARE WELCOME TO IT.

In a Norwegian cocktail lounge: Ladies are requested not to have
children in the bar.

At a Budapest zoo: Please do not feed the animals. If you have any
suitable food, give it to the guard on duty.

In the office of a Roman doctor: Specialist in women and other
deseases.

In an Acapulco hotel: The manager has personally passed all the water
served here.

In a Czech tourist agency:
Take one of our horse-driven city tours -- we guarantee no miscarriages.

Outside a Hong Kong dress shop: Ladies please have fits upstairs.

In a Zurich hotel: Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests
of the opposite sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be
used for this purpose.

In a Hong Kong Supermarket: For your convenience, we recommend
courteous, efficient self-service.

In a hotel in Athens: Visitors are expected to complain at the
office between the hours of 9 and 11 am. daily.

In a Swiss mountain inn: Special today -- No Ice cream.

In a Paris hotel elevator: Please leave you values at the front desk.

In a Copenhagen airline ticket office: We take your bags & send them
in all directions.

In a Bangkok drycleaner's: Drop your trousers here for best results.
