These are so funny.

Are they true?

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.
