They were in an Ann Landers column from 1969. Can you believe I saved something like that? Some of them just crack me up!!!
It would be hard to translate English into some of those languages. English is so hard for other countries, because we have so many words meaning the same thing and spelled differently.

Those are so funny!!!!!!
Have you seen these?? These crack me up everytime! Since English translates so strangely, some marketing companies were embarrassed when their products were badly translated. This website is HE-LARIOUS! http://www3.sympatico.ca/srajano/jokes.html
