Tips For Retards™ - Tip No. 15
As many of you know, I have a great love for Engrish.com because it makes me giggle. I get very angry, however, when I see examples of Engrish in CANADA, outside of Chinatown. Why? Because Canada is an ENGLISH speaking country (I deny the French totally) and when I see examples of HORRIFICALLY inept English usage; especially signage, which we are meant to assume has been double and triple checked before going into production, no? Apparently not.
Seen on a sign outside my building:
WTF!?! Seriously, any of you that come visit me, check out the fence immediately to the right of the entrance off the street.
The sentence, however, isn't entirely wrong, its just akward to the Nth degree. It should read "Locking bicycles to this fence is prohibited" but then again, I don't work in a signage factory - for good reason, I would go insane.

Don't get a job in a signage factory if you are a retard.
