Do You Work South Of The Border?

casualsavant sent me this amusing example of shonky pirate DVD translation, which you might have already seen. The same ‘Blog also reproduces this sign from a Mexican restaurant in China, which you might not have:

“Zapata’s Mexican Cantina does not sponsor prostitutes at our establishment. If you are a prostitute please refrain from entering our garden or restaurant. If you are unsure whether or not you are a prostitute, please ask one of your friendly security guards to sort it out for you.

Thanks.”

“If you are unsure whether or not you are a prostitute”: you’ll have seen that Tonito thinks that Mr Straw is a “tart”.

Reminds me of the no doubt apocryphal translation of “Protestant Episcopal Church” as “Society of Disaffected Foremen”.
