you know how a lot of stuff we own have foreign letters imprinted on them?
Well, I find it incredibly humorous that most of them don't make sense.
For example, I have a lot of stuff from China. My mom brought this jacket here that has a tag saying: Mouth Valley. When my friends went back to China, they took these professional pictures, and one of them had a shirt on with the letters "little girl" imprinted (she was 15, not that little), while the other had the picture background saying "... I love you, I will forever remember you, you are my green grass..."

ps. they remind me of some inappropriate stuff... mouth valley... little girl... ok.. i have a dirty mind.

Yeah, those are truly mind boggling. My favorite kinds of shirts are the Japanese shirts with the fancy Japanese kanji characters on them, and when you translate it, the characters probably translate into "I'm a stupid person." And the owner of the shirt doesn't know what it means, he just bought it because it looked cool.
