  3. I've never heard any of these before, but they're all hilarious! Difficult to pick a favorite.
    I can certainly identify with that cartoon at the top.

  5. It does not take much to give mixed messages with the English language. I think the Japan messages are the best.

  6. Too funny. Some stuff seems to get lost in translation especially in Japan.

  10. These brought a smile to my face, my friend.
    Thank you for sharing them.
    I received your messages via my blogpost comments section. I read each of them.
    I'm not sure why I can't comment on your blog from my iPhone except as "anonymous." I can comment as myself if I use my computer....so that's what I'm doing this evening.
    I send you a hug from across the pond.

    1. Yippee... I am so pleased you found a way round the problem, Jackie. I mean, now that I have found you again I don't relish the thought of losing you just because of a phone blip. I must try using my phone to see what happens. Stay well, Jackie.

If you're new to A Mixed Bag you might find something to interest you, a bit of mirth, a story or two, or some pictures. I'm so pleased you popped in, do leave a comment if you have time.
