Foreign Languages

From Aaron, a small survey of some popular European languages:

Spanish: Everything you say makes you sound hungry.
Russian: There are 33 different ways to say, "Comrade, pass the Vodka or I shoot you."
French: Every French sentence carries the implicit connotation that you want to have sex with the person you are talking to.
German: The German word for "hello" is "Echsteinlefahrtengruber". The German translation for "Hey Hans, what say tomorrow morning we climb into our tanks and roll over Poland?" is "Hans, Poland, ja?"

  1. Erik, Iraq, ja? 🙂

  2. It's funny, but it sounds like you're taking credit for it. See http://www.geomasti.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=2281.

  3. Adam, I seriously doubt anyone actually thinks that.

    And anyway, you didn't even link to the original joke either. Which, btw, is: here

    Really though, what do you propose? Right before the punchline we say, oh by the way, this joke was thought up by Lewis and Don a couple years ago. I do not take credit at all for the humor one may or may not find in this joke. All rights reserved by them? 🙂

  4. I linked to another archive of rec.humor.funny (I think), so it's basically the same.

    Oh, never mind... 🙂

  5. Well, when I'm talking with friends -- especially female friends, they think about it a lot more than us males --, you can actually be sure that there is almost *always* an implicit sexual connotation.

    Funny that it seems to be limited to us French people...
