Here are some interesting mistranslations:

In a Rome laundry
Ladies, leave your clothes here & spend the afternoon having a good time.

On a menu of a Polish hotel
Salad a firm's own make; limpid red beer soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people's fashion.

A Finnish hotel's instructions in case of fire
If you are unable to leave your room, expose yourself in the window.

Ad for donkey rides in Thailand
Would you like to ride your own ass?

In a Czech tourist agency
Take one of our horse driven tours---we guarantee no miscarriages.

Car rental brochure in Tokyo
When passenger of foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet him melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage then tootle him with vigor.

A woman goes to a grocery store late at night. She get's a loaf of bread, gallon of milk, some cat food and a head of lettuce.
An obviously intoxicated man strolls by, looks at her and her purchases for a few seconds and says "I bet your single".
The woman looks at her items and can't understand how he could deduce this simply by what she has bought. She says to the man "Why yes, I am single. How could you tell that?"
The man replies "'cause you're uglier than S***!"

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Jack says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like h**l. I guess I better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer at the drugstore at the corner. Just give it a urine sample and the computer'll tell you what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars...a h**l of a lot cheaper than a doctor."

So Jack deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to the drugstore. He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks.

That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Jack began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and masturbated into the mixture for good measure. Jack hurries back to the drugstore, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following: 1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. 2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. 3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab. 4. Your wife is pregnant...twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. 5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better.

This is a modification of the original "How Many FReepers Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb" and incorporates some of the responses. I was unable to find the link to the original thread. Although it obviously predates 2001, it is still one of the funniest things I've read in awhile....and SO true; a real microcosm of FReepdom!

Q: How many Freepers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 1,844

1 to notify someone that the bulb had burned out!
1 to change the light bulb and to post to the board that the light bulb has been changed;

Mornin' y'all. I thought y'all would enjoy this thread. There is some really funny stuff here!

Ways to annoy people:

1) At lunch time, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.

2) Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)

3) Insist that your e mail address is: xena-goddess-of-fire@companyname.com Elvis-the-King@companyname.com.

4) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

5) Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing.

6) Put your garbage can on your desk and label it 'IN."

7) Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.

8) Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

9) In the memo field of all your checks, write 'for sexual favors.'

10) Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think."

11) Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."

12) Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level lights up the entire work area. Insist to others that you like it that way.

13) Don't use any punctuation

14) As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

15) Ask people what sex they are.

16) Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

17) Sing Along at the opera.

18) Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

19) Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is the opposite gender.)

20) Send e mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you're doing. For example: If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom.

21) Put mosquito netting around your cubicle.

22) Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

23) Call the psychic hotline and just say "Guess"

24) Contact the NAACP and ask them if they accept donations payable by confederate money.

25) When the money comes out of the ATM, Scream "I Won!" "I won!" 3rd time this week!!!

26) When leaving the Zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they are loose!"

27) Tell your boss, " It's not the voices in my head that bothers me, its the voices in your head that do"

28) Tell your children over dinner. " Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go"

29) Every time you see a broom yell "honey, your mother is here."

SOUTHERN TOURISM BUREAU COMMUNIQUE TO ALL VISITING NORTHERNERS AND NORTHEASTERN URBANITES:

1. Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Waffle House. It's just a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hrs a day. Let them cook something they know. If you confuse them they'll kick your a**.

2. Don't laugh at our Southern names. (i.e., Merlene, Bodie, Ovine, Luther Ray, Tammy Lynn, Darla Beth, Inez, Billy Joe, Sissy, etc.) These people have all been known to kick a**.

3. Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda down here. Down here its called coke. Nobody gives a flying d**n whether its pepsi, RC, Dr Pepper, 7Up or whatever - its a coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an a** kicking.

4. We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you (e.g., Welty, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hillbillies or we'll kick your a**.

5. We have plenty of business sense (e.g., fred Smith of FedEx, Turner Broadcasting, Wal-Mart, MCI WorldCom, MTV, Netscape). Naturally we do, sometimes, have small lapses in judgement (e.g., Carter, Edwards, Duke, Barnes, Clinton). We don't care if you think we are dumb. We are not dumb enough t let someone move to our state in order to run for the senate. If someone tried to do that we would kick their a**.

6. Don't laugh at our /Civil War monuments. If Lee had listened to Longstreet and flanked Meade at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett up the middle you'd be paying taxes to Richmond instead of Washington. If you visit Stone Mountain and complain about the carving we will kick your a**.

7. We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut up, spend your money, and get the h**l out of here - or we'll kick your a**.

8. Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will know instantly that you're a Yankee. Eat your biscuits like God intended - with gravy. And don't put sugar on your grits, or we'll kick your a**.

9. Don't fake a southern accent. This will incite a riot and you will get your a** kicked.

10. Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we know better. Many of us have visited northern hell holes like Detroit, Chicago, and D.C., and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, Delta is ready when you are. Take your a** on home before it gets kicked.

11. Yes, we know how to speak proper English. We talk this way because we don't want to sound like you. We don't care if you don't understand what we are saying. All other southerners understand what we are saying, and that's all that matters. Now, go away and leave us alone or we'll kick your a**.

12. Don't complain that the south is dirty and polluted. None of our lakes have caught fire like scenic Lake Erie once did. Whine about our scenic beauty and we will kick your a** all the way back into Boston Harbor.

13. Don't ridicule our Southern manners. We say "sir" and "ma'am", hold doors open for others, and offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilizede people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little gray-haired grannies or they'll kick some manners into your a** just like they did ours.

14. So you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live in the countryside? That's because we have enough sense not to live in smelly, crime-infested cesspools like New York, Baltimore, or St. Louis. Make fun of our fresh air and we'll kick your a**.

15. Last but not least, DO NOT DARE to come down here trying to tell us how to cook barbeque. This will get your a** shot off (right after it is kicked). You're lucky we let you come down here at all. Criticize our sacred barbeque, and you go home in a pine box - minus your a**.

Two reasons I have great respect for southern folk of the better persuasion, even if I can't figure out what the hell they're trying to say for a minute or two.

A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write GOD a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to GOD USA, they decided to send it to President Bush. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to GOD, which read:

Dear GOD, Thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, they took most of it.
