'ROWENA" BRAND ELECTRIC IRON; Instructions for use of the Electric Iron:
1. Plug the iron into an Electric socket. 2.Put your shirt onto an board. Iron your shirt.3.Hand up your shirt. (Anyone don't know that?)

BOARDING PASS OF AN AMERICAN AIRLINES; Don't sit next to a child who is alone. Do not stare at ladies in a wrong way. Do not do anything funny. We can throw you our of the airplane if you try to be funny. (Wow.. angry).

SUPERMAN CLOTHES FOR CHILDREN; Wearing this garment does enable you to fly. Do not jump out of buildings wearing it. (Haha... how thoughtful of them... kids are not that stupid ok?)

ICEBERG BRAND HAIRDRYER; Switch on the hairdryer. Direct at your hair, Blow Dry. Do not use while swimming. Do not use on animals, it will frighten them. (Anyone would use it while swimming?)

JENING BRAND RICE COOKER: Wash rice. put water. Press On to cook. (I wish they tell me how much rice to put inside)

RAILWAY TICKET: If you did not pay for this ticket, don't board the train. (maybe the admin just want to express: one ticket only for one passenger and only use once ) the funny is how the passenger read that notice without buy the ticket

Maybe most of them is translated by Chinese translator. In fact in mainland it is a very-hard but lower-income job which require higher english background. Most experienced translators escaped from this industry after several years.
