I've done contracts in China and part of the charm is the badly translated signs. Often they are quite literal, and you do get more of a feel for the culture, but more often they are straight out jokes, may have been a mistake at first, but others have copied it knowing it is wrong, as a kind of in-joke, a perfect example of this is "Long time, no see!".
