In a Nairobi restaurant: "CUSTOMERS WHO FIND OUR WAITRESSES RUDE OUGHT TO SEE THE MANAGER."
Kaki Loi: Memang la ayat dia tak salah, but it's like saying this "IF YOU THINK THE WAITRESSES ARE RUDE, WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE MANAGER" Geddit?

On a poster at Kencom: "ARE YOU AN ADULT THAT CANNOT READ? IF SO, WE CAN HELP."
Kak Loi: Nyeh, obviously the sign cannot apply to those who read it kan? kosser...

On the menu of a Swiss restaurant: "OUR WINES LEAVE YOU NOTHING TO HOPE FOR."
Kak Loi: I guess they're saying their wine is the best sampai kita takkan harapkan wine lain yang lebih sedap... instead stetmen tu ala2 membayangkan wine diorang tu poison, minum je nan ado harapan katenyer...

Waakakakakaa...nilah contoh ngaji English tak tingi mana tapi buat buat reti pulaks!!!

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO ENTER A WOMAN, EVEN A FOREIGNER, IF DRESSED AS A MAN."

Yang ni mak rasa what they wanna say was "It is forbidden for a woman to enter a temple even a foreigner dressed as a man"

"TAKE NOTICE: WHEN THIS SIGN IS UNDER WATER, THIS ROAD IS IMPASSABLE."

Kalau dah under water, macam mana nak baca??

"LADIES ARE REQUESTED NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BAR."

Maksudnya (double meaning) lebih kurang "jangan beranak kat sini instead of jangan bawa anak2'...

"OUR WINES LEAVE YOU NOTHING TO HOPE FOR."

The sign intended to praise their wine BUT sound like "wine ni takde harapan dah"

THEY ARE MARRIED WITH EACH OTHER FOR THIS PURPOSE." (Haiyooo sound lime getting married JUST FOR THE SAKE of dibolehkancamping di site itu)

Lea... you certainly lack 'sense of humour'..
