More than one mix-up here; here's the real road sign story.

A sign at the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
railway station in Anglesey, Wales. Translated from Welsh: St Mary's
church
in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the
church
of St Tysilio of the red cave. Welsh officials mistakenly erected a road
sign that read "I am not in the office at the moment" after a translation
mix-up.
