Hi there, now I do something terrible... translate a joke from a German
newsgroup (de.talk.jokes) and post it here:
===================
Some little kids from different countries discuss the question where
little kids come from. The German kid: The stork brings them; the
Italian kid: They come out of the cabbages; the French kid: Well I must
not tell you exactly, but it has something to do with man and woman and
bedroom. Then they ask the Swiss kid, it ponders for a while and says:
Well, in our country, this is handled differently in the different
Kantons [states].
====================
Why did I commit this translation-crime?
Well I'd like to know about lots of countries: where the babies come
from; and make a list.
Germany --- the stork brings them;
Germany, offensive: "The donkey lost you while galloping"
France --- they grow inside cabbages and roses
Italy --- they grow inside cabbages apparently, but I've never
heard it before
Others???
