Shane — my sweet husband is four years old at heart. He would take that as a compliment.

Thanks for the tip, Shane. Reminds me of the little-known fact that Ronald McDonald goes by the name Donald in Japan… for that very reason, I suppose.

engrish.com has translations that are in the same vein as the manuals. Funny stuff.

Mary – it also seems to imply that there are children ABOVE 18. Maybe your husband? (Sorry, cheap shot).

A few months ago, my husband ordered an ultra-realistic BB gun from China which came with the following label: “ATTENTION: Don’t shooting at any human or animal. Not appropriate for children under 18 yrs.”

I’m not sure which is worse, the “don’t shooting” or the idea that 17-year-olds are children.

Or the fact that I just admitted, in public, that my husband bought an ultra-realistic BB assault rifle.
