A freind's wife had an Accent- he called it her HowYouWannaDie Accident.
If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?

The BMW emblem (looks like a checkerboard, but round) actually symbolizes a spinning propeller, because of the aircraft heritage.
Same with Mitsubishi....Theirs is a 3-blade propeller.
And of course, that logo on your Husqvarna chainsaw (and your vintage MXer) simulates a gunsight because they produced rifles.
Shortly after Ford began to export the Pinto to South America they
began to notice a rather steep sales trend in Brazil. Shortly, they
were selling them almost as soon as the little cars were rolled off
the boats! Their dealerships were pleading for more cars! "Send more
Pintos, immediately!" was heard everywhere!
Ford investigated.
Ford soon discovered the reason why ...
Pinto in Portuguese means pen`is!
... the name of the export cars to Brazil were changed!
... sales dropped proportionally/radically!
Once again the prudish Americans had found their level ... and once again
the Brazilians were out of a good laugh at our expense!
NOVA (no va) in Spanish means "doesn't go!".
