Randomness.

"The wind picked up rather suddenly, sending the Minister's notes for his speech and other rubbish flying across the grass"







Q.: Does 'too-tee-too-too-too' actually mean anything?
A. : Yes, it does. Russian hotels it means two cups of tea to Room No. 22 please.

In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan “Come alive with the Pepsi Generation” came out as “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.”

Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan “finger-lickin’ good” came out as “eat your fingers off.”

When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” However, the company’s mistakenly thought the Spanish word “embarazar” meant embarrass. Instead the ads said that “It wont leak in your pocket and make you pregnant.”

An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope’s visit. Instead of the desired “I Saw the Pope” in Spanish, the shirts proclaimed “I Saw the Potato.”

In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water.

In a Yugoslavian hotel: The flattening of your underwear with pleasure is the job of the chambermaid.

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

Advertisement for donkey rides in Thailand: Would you like to ride on your own a*s?

Detour sign in Kyushi, Japan: Stop: Drive Sideways.

In a Swiss mountain inn: Special today- no ice cream.

At a Budapest zoo: Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable food, give it to the guard on duty.

*pokes guard*
Layin : Want some peanuts?

From a Japonese information booklet about using a hotel air conditioner: Coolesand Heates: If you want just condition of warm in your room, please control yourself.

Yes, I'm random. x) But that's not very random YET.
