Post some examples of engrish that you see around :p

I got some examples such as:

I got a menu in a Beijing restaurant and it had all full of engrish examples... even one with a garlic frying cock (it's supposed to say garlic chicken or something)

Man I swear sometimes Japanese do not know what they're trying to portray to their audience... omg and it makes me laugh when it ends up having all this nude related stuff, especially on shirts (I saw one that was like "seduction is my strategy" xD) :p
