Engrish

I saw 2 funny things today. First, as I was walking to Robin's office building, I passed a window on which was painted the following words: "Innar Mongorian Eat and Bar."

And then later, in the subway I discovered the latest in the "Please do it at home" politeness posters in the metro subway stations. The latest one shows a drawn figure of a man passed out on a bench seat in a subway car. His clothes are rumpled, one shoe is off and there is a beer can on the floor. "Please do it at home." (No drunken behavior on the trains, please.) Too bad they can't ban the smell of the inebriated people on the trains morning and night!

Maybe the poster should say, "Please don't do this at all, folks."
