Went to a convenience store to pick up some strawberry milk and saw this sign at the checkout. Thinking about chickens that have not been born gave me a giggle. Maybe they should have put "fresh eggs" instead. Whats the most amusing Engrish that you have seen?

Well as you can see its extra expensive because they have to use their time machine to go into the future to bring those chickens back to our time when they are yet to be born. Curious question It says No born Chicken but what is it trying to actually say?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL no born chicken... what a pitiful translation ^^; I guess they wanted to mean "breaded chicken", with breadcrumbs. In France we call this "pané", which pronunciation is similar to "pas né", which indeed means "not born". Kids always joke about that, but more with breaded fish (fishsticks) they have at school for lunch ^^

The most amusing Engrish I've seen actually was not Engrish, but someone mistaking it for such. I've been going to this one musician's MySpace page from time to time and he's posted some photos of his visit to Japan. One of them was of a shoe store he thought had an amusing name. One reply was made bringing up the word "Engrish" on the shoe store's name. Problem was, The Athlete's Foot is a Philadelphia-based company. It always comes back in an embarrassing way when one assumes the founder doesn't know his/her own language. Of course, I laugh. :-)

When I was in Japan a couple of weeks back, during my tour of Hokkaido there was this one nature trail park place, there was a video playing in the souvenir shop about the foxes that lived there and at one part the subtitles read "who did eat this ate this bark" with a picture of a fox standing next to a tree or something like that. I have no idea what is means, but I thought it was pretty funny.

Not necessarily Engrish I guess since the grammar and spelling is top notch. But the "Did you cum twice too? Feel so dirty!!! I need a tongue bath" shirt Hirano Aya sported in the Gekisou Concert DVD had me chuckling. Too bad we can't get away with shirts like that where I am.
