When my public-speaking coach was visiting Japan, she came across a hair salon called "The Hair Cook Pit." Yeah.

I'd guess it's some sort of emergency lever, or other mechanism which you can cock.

It was a lever you were supposed to pull that would let you open the doors to the bus in an emergency.

The journalist was of course Israeli. They asked the journalists to prepare their questions before the interview and send it to the politician so he'll know how to answer, though...I doubt he could answer this.
The journalist used a translation program which as it seems, sucked big time.

My mom bought a toy once which had a TON of engrish on the package... I don't have the package anymore, nor do I have any pictures of it, but I copied the text. (Cut 'cause it's long.)
Spoiler:
Universal Ball
front of package [discription]{I am reading this off the box as I type!})
Universal ball, with a rubber ring outside of universal ball and a peace magnetic in side the core, can generate irregular magnetic field. This magnetice fied can help you to stimulate the key point in your hand. If put the rubber ring at any part on your body when the ball rolling fast, it can help you to do massage
Back of package [instructions]: ({again, this is how it appears on the package!})
(1) Roll the yellow ball and find the hole, Put the rope into the hole, and roll the ball slowly.
(2) Let the rope wide two circle around the yellow ball tightly.
(3) Hold the green part of the ball, do not touch the yellow ball. pull out the rope quickly, and let the ball rolloing.
(4) Move your palm slowly, and let the ball rolling as fast as possible. The faster the ball rolling, the more power it generated. You must hold the ball very tightly, it will falling down. ({Miaka has to stop typing because she's laughing hard at this last line.})
Er, I sorta copy-pasted that from an old lj entry--this was back in May of '03.
