I don’t have a witty verse, but when I first glanced at the post I thought it said “Love can not poop”. I think that wll become my own, personal words to live by.

Port => Fren
Même si la traduction peut s’arrêter.
La signification ne peut pas s’arrêter
Fren => Germ
Selbst wenn die übersetzung s’ kann sich anzuhalten.

Someone beat me to Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, so instead I will mock this seller’s return policy:
“If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, please return the item in its original condition(unopened) within 30 days of delivery of your shipment. Please note that we cannot accept the returns of opened items”
How the fuck are you supposed to know whether you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase if you can’t open it? Do you have to put it through a TSA body scanner or what?
I know I’m late on adding to this, but this is just an average Japanese mangling of English. It’s always cool to use English on products in Japan-i.e., “chew gum for happy heads and making too the sunshiney world”. Really.
