Toward the Urinal, Man of Culture
Apparently Neil Armstrong has some [cachet] in China. In some weird places. While I was, uh, standing at the urinal in a hot pot restaurant’s bathroom, I notice this slogan on the wall:
往前一小步
文明一大步
Literally it means “a little step forward is a big step toward being civilized.” It beat out the other option the restaurant considered, which was “Dude, stop peeing on the floor.”
If you’re curious, the original phrase was translated into Chinese as 我的一小步，是人类的一大步 （My small step is a great step for mankind.”Share This

Yeah, I love that one.
I remember seeing another version someplace else as…
One small step for man
One giant leap for cleanliness
Sinosplice, maybe?
