Perhaps I have a one track mind in addition the case of A.D.D. that I'm aflicted with. I had to grab a few things at the A&P and as always I used the automated "do-it-yourself" checkout. Normally, you just pass the UPC over the scanner and bag the goods, but the guy in the next lane was buying produce and I guess you have to punch in what you are purchasing, weigh it, and then the machine tells you to proceed. He was getting corn on the cob, but I could have sworn that the machine kept saying "Please place your PORN on the belt". And based on the headspin that the guy in the next lane did almost simultaneously with me, he must have thought the same thing.

Right after this I jumped in the car to pick up a few more things at the asian grocery store down the street. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me to capture one of the best examples of Engrish that I've come across. The sign in the refrigerated section where they had the milk and other stuff read "DAILY & FROZEN FOODS". Next time, I'll take a camera.
