Sorry About That
June 28th, 2004
From members of the DAJ mailing list: A small American company selling shirts in France gave this French-language washing instructions on the label at the back of the neck:
LAVER A LA MAIN A L’EAU TIEDE
SAVON DOUX
ETENDRE POUR SECHER
NE PAS SECHER A LA MACHINE
NE PAS REPASSER
NOUS SOMMES DESOLES QUE
NOTRE PRESIDENT SOIT UN IDIOT.
NOUS N‘AVONS PAS VOTE POUR LUI.
See here for the translation. The company says that it actually was an in-joke referring to the company president, but I don’t really think so….
Note: Mark had it a while ago… I knew I’d seen it somewhere!
