Funny english in Japan

Japanese love English, even if they don't speak it well.  Most often this combination results in odd translations, or simply non-sensical words put together on a sign or t-shirt.

But sometimes you get some very funny results, like these I saw on my trip:

Born to be chicken (seen on a restaurant)

I love BBQ, it's mine (seen on a restaurant)

Not Sleeping Around (on the front of an oversize t-shirt worn by a woman in her late 30's with two kids)

The smell of Asian resort.  Hotel Ubud. (A sign on a lightpost, and also their website)
