Being really bad at languages I could truly sympathize with people trying to understand and use English to write directions etc. But that didn't mean I couldn't find the humor in them. This one is truly a classic.

Who turned out to be a robot working for the Company. When he was whacked, he bled what looked like milk.

This reminds me of a box containing a simple toy that a friend sent as a gift in a box of weird gifts. It was a solar powered toy that required nothing more than setting it on a windowsill but it had instructions that made little sense. I kept the box for a while because it was so comical.

This review is hilarious.

I have dealt with a number of languages and it is fact that English is one of the most difficult to learn, still, some translations just get crazy. And then, I can imagine how silly I might sound trying to converse in a language I don't know well.

It's happened time and time again all throughout my life!

It's been humorous to me each and every time...
