Engrish Report I

Two gems from the cover of my composition notebook (which I bought, 3 for a dollar, at a hyakuen shop):

"It is our hope that this item will become your good friend and help to make your life enjoyable all the time."

I thought this was a pretty generous expectation for 30 cents. But the copywriter covered his/her tracks:

"The benefit of this notebook is up to the sense that comes from your passion."

... so I suppose my passion will dictate the bounds of our friendship. As of right now? I wouldn't call us 'passionate' quite yet, but my notebooks and I have a decent working relationship. And at the moment my life is enjoyable, nearly all the time. So maybe there's something to it. (^_-)

Another good T-shirt:

"Come back, apple!" (surrounded by bouncing apple motif)
