Go Ahead, Sit Down at McDonalds -- in China

I took this photo in 2008 in China. It took me 30 minutes trying to explain to the manager what the sign really meant. When he finally got it, I thought he was going to pee his pants he was laughing so hard. It still took two weeks before the sign was taken down.
