this actually isn’t that funny, it’s referring to an octopus card, which is how people in Hong kong pay for transportation.

You will get a full refund if you return the card in working condition.

not really… People in Hong Kong like me don’t usually put “card” at the end because it has become such a generic term here it doesn’t really matter.

By: dreadedkilla

dreadedkilla — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 07:04:45 +0000

actually, if u read what it says on its website, u’ll find that paying HK$120 for an Octopus card includes HK$50… Meaning you are paying HK$70 for the card and putting the rest inside it. I know cuz I live in Hong Kong and actually have a card.

engrishfunny.com fail indeed.

this sign actually makes perfect sens as in this context it’s referring to an octopus card – used to pay for the mtr, buses, some macdonalds, 7-11’s, etc in hong kong.

Exactly. Funny that, last summer I was at a Hong Kong metro station, and mistakenly called the Octopus card the Oyster card, which got the attention of another Londoner at the next ticket machine .

By: Xenobiologista

Like Oyster cards in the UK?

(Man…there aren’t any funny metro transit systems here in the US.)

In my country pre-paid card for the metro is called T-money…

its talking about an octopus card.
its a card that you load with money to pay for stuff in Hongkong
Its an alternate for debit cards and cash.

jaz — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:33:59 +0000

I definitely think everyone has got the wrong idea. An “octopus” is a card that gets you through the metro. It’s like a credit card. Octopus is just the pet-name for it. It’s right.

Now I feel bad for the out-of-town guy in Hong Kong who tries to board the train with an actual octopus in his pocket. When the ticket worker asks him to present his octopus, he will be mystified when she promptly freaks out. After all, she wanted to see the #$%%^ thing.

I love this. Someone happens to come along with the actual meaning of such a totally random phrase and ruins the mystery ; )

No, srsly, what I love about these comments are that people are on them who actually know how to decode the Engrish! (or at least sound believable)

In the style of RPG games everywhere… some store their octopus down their pants inexplicably. Please, don’t have these people present their octopus…

No carry permit needed, but for concealed loaded octupus, you need to ask, therefore the “show your octupus” sign.
