A Beer In Any Language Is Still A Beer
I found this little linguistic tidbit over at Drifty's blog a while back and just now got around to using it.
What do you get when you take a commonly understood English term, and then Babelize it by translating it back and forth several times? Heaven only knows. So to speak.
Well, here's what you get from "If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane":
If we are not very ill of the alcohol, the left we entered equal cleared.
Oh, and before I go: Hé, gets a beer to the dog of the crime, prays.
Which actually translates to: "Hey, bring The Crime Dog a beer, please."
