Mitsibushi couldnt understand why their Spanish sales of the popular Shogun model, renamed Pajero for the European market, were so poor...until they realised that "Pajero" means "wanker" in Spanish. |

A few yaers ago while on holiday in Greece, my daughters friend asked the waiter at a taverna if she could have a serviette! He had a look of horror on his face until I butted in and said that she wanted a napkin, to which he breathed a sigh of relief, serviette in Greek means sanitary towel  |
