London , UK

all fire extinguishers must be examined at least five days before any fire....wow

Copenhagen:

In the event of fire, open a window and announce your presence in a seemly manner....wow

France:

Wondering what to wear? A sports jacket may be worn to dinner, but no trousers. blushing blushing

Copenhagen :

Take care of burglars.

Who s got some more??

From a Japanese guidebook:
"When a passenger of the foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet at him melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage, then tootle him with vigor.".

Take any text and copy it to google translator,
translate it to finish, copy the text you came up with and translate it back to english...
Sometimes you get something hilarious out of it and sometimes it's just a bad translation...
