I’m really not sure what happened to this sign. Some part of me doesn’t want to know, either. I sound two misspelled words, one homophone, and one instant of tense confusion. Did I miss anything?
You would think that some of the more difficult words would have been misspelled, instead of the contrary. No, they went to the next level of Engrish and misspelled words like ‘mind’ and ‘quality’, and I don’t even think that ‘sallies’ and ‘galey’ are words.
At least they use their manners when misspelling. You can almost forgive the lack of proofreading… Almost.

You know, it may seem like a typo, but in reality, they’re actually correct! Happy hour is typically form 4pm-7pm, and those who can do basic math can understand that 3 is more than 1 and therefore the word ‘hour’ in happy hour does in fact need an ‘s’ at the end. Score one point for Engrish!
Normally, quotations around a word in English like this imply double meanings. I feel badly for this hotel for unknowingly making their cautionary request into a joke.
Do I even need to try and make a joke here. I submit to you that I do not. While Borat was a silly and fun movie, even this engrish masterpiece goes far beyond what the director could have imagined.
Sadly, this was in a museum in Iran. It would make me very unsure of the museum’s displays. Or should I say, “Trusting museum not.” Engrish will never get old.

I think the sign is referring to the sign’s spelling as being out of order. We also “apologize” for this sign being out of order.
Hi, I saw this beauty in a Tesco shop in Shoreditch, East London yesterday. It’s all wrong.

This could be read two ways and both ways are still wrong.
I’m going to go with option number two. Maybe somebody stole the apostrophe while they were changing the film in camera?
