Quickie laundry

Do blog do Fernando Rodrigues no UOL (que não tem permalink) vem esta fantástica carta publicada no Wall Street Journal.

"Your page-one article on 'wacky English' ('Tired of Laughter, Beijing Gets Rid of Bad Translations,' Feb. 5) made me laugh and reminded me of a notice in a Manaus, Brazil, hotel room. Proud of its prompt laundry service, the hotel notice proclaimed: 'Press 9 and we will come to take-off your clothes'. "
