My favorite has to be the one seen on a jewellers door in London....

"Out to lunch.... if not back by 5, out to dinner also!"

This site is full of good ones from English-Challenged sign makers. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif Engrish.com
 
"For Sale by Owner".
As opposed to
"For Sale by Non Owner"
"For Sale by Neighbor"
"For Sale by Ex-Wife"
 
One of my favourites is
"Experienced Tires - $5 and up"

or "Free Car Wash with 25L Hot Coffee Inside"

seems like a waste of hot coffee to use it in a car wash!

Don't knock it, you can find some good bargains that way. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
Wish I had kept it but a Japanese maker of quality masks for diving used to include a small bottle of cleaner for the glass lense. The bottle read:

Mask Creaner.
 
Tahoe, I was going to just send mine in. Now you tell me I have to wait!

On the parts list for one of my pieces of electrical test equipment, it calls out one item as an "Alligator Crip."

I remember the owner manual for our 1972 Yamaha motorcycle. I thought the writer just used the Japanese word order and substituted English. We could understand most of what we had to do mostly because we had an idea of what was intended. Those things were fun. T.T.
 
I pass an "Engrish School" every day on my way to work.
Nail Polish remover is "Nail Remover"
Make-up remover is "Face remover.
Both sound painful to me... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
a couple of my favorites...
Hardware store sign: Cast Iron Sinks (well of course they do!)
and at the beach... "Bathing suits half off" (Which half?)
