"Guernsey" Guernsey by gumboyaya

This translator is a pacifist

I DO love signs.
Especially, when they display different languages.

This sign was quite obviously translated by a pacifist.
(My utmost heartiest greetings!)

The "pistol range" is translated into German on this sign as "Scheiss-Stand".
Now, - please do excuse me language - this means, in German "Sh*t-booth".

The little mistake that happend here is: shooting is spelled in German "schiessen", and the thing that you are usally doing on your own, whilst sitting on a toilette is spelled (in a rather vulgar way) "scheissen".

I´m extremely glad, no one realised the little "I and E swap".

I had a good laugh, when I read this sign!
