Verbatim, from the handle of a mosquito swatter ...

"It is every to refresh 15 hours in 10 in time"[/color]

The funny thing is, if I stare at it for a while it starts to make some sense.

Must have been made in Boston, Greg!!

the LEDs on them arnt for decoration!

Just purchased the Mosquito Beater, v. 2011. Instructions for charging read:

"It is Every to Refresh 15 Hours in 10 ~ Time"

Gotta love Thailand, right? Seven years later and they STILL employ this mangled sentence on the handle. It's perhaps the only place where a linguistic error not only is never fixed, it eventually becomes the PREFERRED way to say something.

Still, I must ask: Why is it someone at the Mosquito Beater Co. never took it upon themselves to consult a dictionary or a foreigner BEFORE engraving this head-scratcher permanently on the plastic handle? Are you so lazy and careless (carefree, yes I know!) that you can't take two minutes to check your sentence? Too scared to ask?

Nevertheless, since getting it fixed would constitute a change in ways (and probably a whole bunch of bureaucratic procedure at the company), it's there for eternity. Woohoo!
