I took this photo in the shop window of a shoe shop. In French, this sign says that men shoes are to be found on the first floor (more literally: Men showroom on the first floor). In English, as you can see, the meaning is slightly different... And trust me, I checked, nobody was performing on the floor!
Oh...this is priceless!!! :-)
ReplyDeletehahahahahah! that is so funny! I can't believe they didn't check with someone before printing it! Encore une fois, Eric, good job!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I speak french. Mangle it.
ReplyDeleteAnyone ever read a book called "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris ? There are a couple of very funny chapters about taking french classes in Paris.
I love Sedaris and Me Talk Pretty Some Day, and my goal is to attend one of his readings sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteVery funny bad translation, indeed! Thanks, Eric!
but you were the show man eric no (when you were at the first floor)...
