Fortunately I didn´t have to slaughter myself

The packet arrived yesterday from the Netherlands, just when I was leaving for a overnight trip, so I didn´t have any time to take test pictures.





After placing an order, they sent me an e-mail, saying (Dutch translated with Babelfish):

"Please note: in some case eps your parcel must label at the border concerning. Your parcel goes then with a another alignment number further and at monitoring of the lineline line site then will be indicated: consignment lack/not to trace. You slaughter yourself that case no care, your parcel still underway and within the normal delivery period at you are provided."

I just wonder, did they mean:

“No need to slaughter yourself” or “If you slaughter yourself, we don´t care.” Cool

Love it!

(Camera and translation...)

My favourite was a poorly translated from the original Russian Technical and Optical Equipment (T&OE) instruction sheet for a pair of lens caps:

Take first and screw it well as you like, take other and push up backside until comfortable with fit...

Was it as comfortable as they implied? Shocked and did that include the lens or just the cap?

I'm pleased to say I tried neither sugestion! lol

Another gem trawled from my memory was the instruction on a Matsushita external CD drive:

If CD should jam and be not able to remove, insert a narrow prick in the hole from the front and it will eject..
