Default Japanese English

Does anyone else enjoy reading Japenese service manuals as much as I do?

Some of my favorite instructions...

1) Plus and Minus screwdrivers (Phillips and regular - think about it).
2) Anti-Counter Clockwise (I guess they mean Clockwise).
3) For Indoor or Outdoor use only (What else is there?).
4) NEVER use for the other purpose! (What?)

Do you have one. Are the Chinese manuals any better?

I love to read the Chinese description on ebay ads. You can tell they are having a hard time translating.

Haha, another area...
Food service - cooking directions have been a favorite of mine. I've often thought that there is a business here somewhere.

1. Bring to a boil
2. Add 500 ml water to dry soup mix
3. Put in pan

LOL. That sounds like a fire run.

Or, in certain Vertex programming software, it asks "Do you start downloading?" when you write to a radio, or as I like to call it, "downroading."
