Quickly boss, to the boss mobile! Before you’re trampled over by the herd of mad women looking for bargains!
I’m guessing he drives a Super Power Exploiter
Are they trying to say that when my boss leaves the office, I am in for some great half off discounts?
You get half-off everything already half-off! ZOMG THAT MEANS IT’S FREE!
Half off half-off items would still leave you to pay a quarter of the original price..
Unless it’s the special at Bob’s Circumcisions.. then you’d pay half the full price for a botched job…
Yes, that’s true.
I mean 50% off + 50% off the original price. That would be free.
And take another 1/3 off and they’d be paying YOU!
In Soviet Russia, we pay YOU!
Alien. They are registered on the Men in Black’s intergalactic web catalog and the manager will be back after making a delivery to Elvis and Lady Ga Ga.
That’s actually better than the same old boring “SALE!” signs everywhere. This sign makes you laugh and enjoy your time wasting money on stuff you don’t need but buy anyway “because it’s half-off” even more!
So great marketing.
I agree. It’s very cute.
we ar not here for discount prices…
Apparently, the boss is afraid of aliens.
I was thinking the same thing hahah.
I just wish i could say something funny @ the whole image.
::insert witty line about the correlation between a missing boss and half prices::
There we go:)
Maybe it was the “all half price” that made the boss run away. (I’ve known many bosses to whom that would be terrifying.) And since he calls his store, “Alien,” perhaps he is one.
Maybe he just couldn’t take those screwball humans any more.
“Dear Aunty Thargollia, I have finally finished my experiments; I have had enough of this nutjob planet, and am coming home. I have enough material to write up my thesis – good grief, this planet has enough happening on it to keep the entire Sociology school of the Studia of Greater Ooglethord going for a decade at least – and frankly, I’m looking forward to leaving. They are absolutely incomprehensible; they have all these rules formalising their languages, how they should be written and spoken (I have three whole chapters on their concept of “grammar”) – then they go and write the most bizarre things! I have busted both my brains trying to understand them, but maybe there are just some things in the universe that Flumblekind were just not meant to comprehend. I look forward to seeing you again for the Weebledaing holidays, lots of love, Goombel.”

Remember that the grant contract has a minimum study duration clause. Cutting the study short and not having an acceptable thesis and power-point will force a review and possible forfeiture and refund of grants and travel expenses. It should be better than any of the jackass studies and at least up to a Michael Moore film.
Daddy
Dear Dad,
Thanks for the reminder, you killjoy. Ever since I was a broodling, you have been the wettest of wet blankets. I still remember how upset I was when you told me that Father Weebledaing and the Bengo Bunny weren’t real – I found that out three revolutions before anyone else in my class. But anyway, I have completed my tenure, so my grant is safe. However, having been reviewing my material – there is so much data here – I’m starting to worry that this species is so bizarre that nobody will believe anything I’ve observed. In the best traditions of sociology, I may just have to make it up in order to make it believeable. Say hi to Mum, and tell her that I haven’t crashed my travel module, see you for Weebledaing, Goombel.
Goombel:
The interdimensional real estate market has collapsed and I own a bunch and am the default lender of more on the forfeiture market. I found an Earth Study assistant with degree credit and paycheck at the Dr Janegoodall institute. We have seen her films and would believe anything you say. Zworm some dimensireps so we can see you and the beasties. I need to change the filter and add fresh Higgs bosons when you get in for Weebledaing after the Big U Toofllab game. Mumsy and I Love you. Daddy
maybe it’s illegal aliens <.<
So the boss is afraid of hiring illegal aliens. That makes sense.
Will the residencies be at half off?
So… They’re telling the boss to run away because everything’s half price? What? The Hell?
I understand this boss.
A long time ago, in the previous century, when I was a boss there were times when this might have seemed like a good idea.
the chinese actually does say the boss ran away and everything half price…
though that alien bit defeats me…
You’d better call Sigourney Weaver, then.
I’m calling Ripley. BOTH of them!
Believe it or not!
I bet the food hugs your face and bursts out of your stomach a day later.
ALIEN. In space, no one can hear you burp.
Oh no that food id revolting and the Boss is too!
he didn’t run away, we abducted him
The sign does say ‘boss has run away’.
The boss has run away. Quick! Everybody log on to Engrishfunny.com and have LOLZ before he gets back.
And all LOLZ are half price!
Yes, they used to be $0 and now they are half off.
Just as long as they didn’t divide by zero.
No. They multiplied by zero.
Well, I was Saved by Zero.
Just make sure he doesn’t use his Geass on you.
He has a Germanium a$$? This just gets wierder….
Tell me about it!
Zero the hero?
My hero, Zero.
Ooooh, half-price aliens! Just what I always wanted! My Christmas shopping is now complete!
The Chinese (it is Chinese) literally says “The Boss/owner Run Away, Entire Store Half Price.” In Chinese is not necessary to conjugate the verb, so it is implied “The boss has run away” i.e. “the boss has hit the road” etc. The Chinese is attempting to be playful in this way.
In English of course, if the verb is not conjugated it usually means the imperative form, source of limitless mistranslations.
You have found the Source of Limitless Mistranslations?
*deep bow*
Consider me your humble Engrish apprentice.
It is next to the fountain of misunderstanding.
… which is located in the foyer of the Engrishfunny headquarters.
Where it is the centerpiece.
Thought for a moment the boss ran way with the spoon and the alien laughed to see such fun… and the customer jumped over the moon (half price bargains after all!!).
it means the same thing in the chinese words lol
Maybe you meant “quickly, before he comes back from *launch*,” given the store name…
That pun is so utterly dreadful on at least two levels that Dreadful Pun Hell fairy doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry…
the english translation is correct lol
yeah, the english translation is actually correct, the boss ditched the store so they’re just emptying their stock
Their stock of aliens?
BOSS NO HERE! YOU TAKE! YOU GO!
It doesn’t even make sense in Chinese…
