Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lost in Translation, but Found in Hilarity

I know what you mean, Honda. Last week I was having having dinner with my wife and while she meant to say 'please pass the salt', she instead said 'you ruined my life you miserable frikken prick!'

Toshiyori dewa naku. Keikensha desuyo! Kore kara mo yoroshiku.

Apologies for the usage of foreign tongue to others. No disrespect meant--I find it annoying and exceedingly rude when in company others start speaking a language only they understand. Makes me suspicious. RNR and I just exchanged a couple pleasantries and queries about my wife and his time in Japan and whatnot. He then went on to say that like many others here, he's an old man. I told him, "not old. Experienced!"

Honda I appreciate the translation, it shows character, I too find it rude when others speak in a language only they understand. Thanks and good thread.

You owe me 75 cents. And I was really enjoying that sip of Jack, too! Bastage...

The first time I brought Airi to the White Mountains, before we were married, I took her out of the cabin and on a drive at dusk. I wanted to find moose, without telling her so. Upon coming across a mature cow, one she didn't see at first as I slid up to her at around 30 feet off our starboard/passenger side, she pointed and squealed "OH MY GOD, IT'S ONE OF THOSE WILD LONG-FACED HORSES!"

I damn near ran the truck off into a ditch I was howling so badly.

You got it, and thanks.

That's different. That's called a Freudian Slip.
You're welcome.

Yeah,I know BB but I didn't want to get all technical in Honda's thread.

Ah, I recognize the phrase. The Rolling Stones on their LP 'Some Girls' has a number with that same title. "I'll never be your beaden of burstin...."

But I date myself.

Translation, tehe.

An uncle and I drove down to the city few years back for some Christmas shopping. Walking through the mall, just kinda puttering, we decided to go upstairs. At the top was a batch of oriental kids, late teens early 20's or so, rattling away at each other. One was on each side of the stairs and passers by had no choice but to walk between them. They were all dressed and acted like they thought they were tough or something and the way they were looking at people passing, and then laughing about whatever they said, suggested what their words weren't nice. The one on my side kinda gave me a scowl while rattling away in his native tongue as I got there. I stopped, turned towards him and waited til the end of his sentence then bent down to his level looking him in the eyes and said in a loud voice "You do and you're gonna clean it up!"
My uncle about busted a gut laughing.
But once outside told me I was nuts. "Who knows what they're packing or how violent they may get. And we was outnumbered by quite a margin."
He's prolly right, but it was still funny.

Yeah, yer gonna have to while yer Hunney is away

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

Oh, no. The comedians of the lot are making their presence known!

I like it, by the way. You're going to be here all week, I assume? I'll have my rimshot sound effect ready to roll shortly. Ba DUM DUM!

A co-worker friend does that kinda stuff ALL the time.

The other day he was talking about some girl who was getting mad by some persistent advances by some guy.

He summarised by declaring ... "She sure got muffed!"

I think he meant ... "miffed".

I used to work with a guy who insisyed he had a photgenic memory.

Well it wuz like seein' a sign on yer back that says "kick me" Ya left that door WIDE open!!

When I billed trucks at Wilson's, the nice, old guy in traffic would often ask me to hand him one of the "vanilla" folders. There was also an old-fashioned atomizer for neutralizing odors that would follow folks out from the men's room into the work area. He would refer to it as the "itemized sprayer".

Another old fellow who snuck off one week-end without giving me advanced notice (miss him terribly) used to cuss about those "multiple roses" (multiflora roses) in the timber.

Perhaps the most humorous and most frequent error is people constantly referring to the Chicago Cubs as a "major league baseball team".

That last one was brilliant. Cruel, but brilliant!

"AB,CDB?"
"O,MNOB!"
"O,SMR! CMINU?"
