It Still Translates

Feb 20, 2008 | Posted Under: Bits, Charmed

Translated from Spanish:

“So, how was your trip to Norway?”

“Oh, it was incredible - you know, I tried some whale meat, a delicacy there.”

“Really?”

“Oh yes, although it was a little tricky getting them to serve it to me, because I don’t speak a single word of English.”

“How did you order it at the restaurant, then?”

“Well first I sketched a stupid drawing of a whale on a napkin, with little swirls of what was supposed to be air coming out of its blowhole - but they didn’t get it.”

“Hmmm…so how did you finally get through?”

“Oh it was easy - I just kept screaming ‘Moby Dick! Moby Dick!’ until they understood.”
