1021af33e7a0ede82f35994ddb77fcc1

Telegraph Books has released “Sign Language 2,” a sequel to their best selling book of images of signs that are poorly translated, unfortunately worded and completely baffling. Readers sent in their snapshots of failed attempts of English that they spotted around the world, and now they are available for your perusing pleasure for less than the price of an exotic vacation.

Find some of the book’s best pics below.
