There are loads of funny signs around China which are mostly mistranslations, but my personal favourites are those which could be interpreted two ways.

My all time favourite is this one, which I see every day on the door of the underground:
我最喜欢的是这个我每天在地铁的门上都能看到的这个：

Is it a notice about trapping your hand in the door, or a warning about potential pickpockets on the metro? You decide!
它是在提醒你小心手被门挤伤，还是在警告你地铁里可能有扒手？你来决定！

    The chance to be stolen is more than hand grabbing in SH. You need to be careful all the time when you are in a metro.
