Rude sign translation gives English teacher a laugh

A Brit spotted an amusing hilarious spelling mistake on a Chinese road sign - which reads 'emergency porking'.

The English teacher, who asked to not be named, found the error in the Hanjiang district of Yangzhou. Instead of 'emergency parking' it reads 'emergency porking' - a slang word for sex.

The teacher said: "I was walking back to the car after work when I saw it. It was incredibly funny. I guess as long as I keep finding signs like these, there will still be a job for me teaching English!"
