Lost in Translation

So a while back a ordered my big fat kite from a company called Pansch based in China. I was looking forward to some poorly translated English, as Asian countries are notorious for it, but was dissappointed to find pefect English. And then I found it. They were describing a kite, and the last sentence in the description was, "This kite will bring you much fun and honor!" It was pretty much my favorite joke for like a month.
During my stay here in Thailand I had enough bad English to last a lifetime. Here are a few samples. Oh and yes, my kite did and will bring me much fun and honor.
