But the Sign Said...

Sometimes businesses outside the United States in an effort to make Americans (and other English-speaking tourists) feel more comfortable will post a sign explaining a policy or a temporary difficulty. In some cases, these signed are made by someone using an English translation dictionary and the results are hilarious! But what can we say for the signs made by English-speaking writers other than they're still quite funny and warrant inclusion here!

I'll start with a few from non-English speaking authors to get us going and then signs from native speakers and non-native speakers will be combined.
