Strangest/funny stories.

[Vindekarr]

I was recently on a very long road trip, going along the east coast of australia for three days of driving.

 

And I came upon a town called Hentai(Japanese word meaning loosely porn). It took me five minutes to stop laughing because Hentai was at the foot of a vaguely breast shaped mountain, on the outskirts of a city that caused a minor scandal because of its strip clubs. I loled.

 

This surely isnt the only funny place in the world, Im sure the experience of driving through a shady looking hamlet with a number of establishments that had humerous inuendo double meanings.

 

So what kinds of bizaar things have befallen you?

This isn't about a town called Mianus or Hentai, but I thought it was kinda funny ...

 

March of 2009, I got a new used car and wanted to get an in-dash CD player for it. So I went to a local shop and looked around and found one I wanted for right around what I wanted to pay for one. As I am being rung up, this guy behind the counter (who was kind of a punk), starts telling me, "Now, there all kinds of accessories you can get to make your CD player so much better than it is right now.". I politely decline and he keeps talking about all the stuff I can add to it, which is beginning to irritate me and led to this exchange.

 

"Well, for $10 we can add an adapter for a GPS system."

"No thanks, I know how to read a map"

"Well for $10 we can add an adapter for your cell-phone so you can talk hands free"

"That's why I bought a blue tooth when I got it"

"If you'd like, for $20, we can add an adapter for your i-pod"

"What?"

"An adapter for your i-pod"

"I-pod?"

"Yes"

"What's an i-pod? That like a walkman?"

 

The kid looked at me as if to say "Dude! You did not just ask me that" and I follow up with

 

"The stereo plays CD's and gets radio signals, right?"

"Yes"

"Then I don't need this... i-pod, was it?"

"...um, yes"

"Right, don't need it"

"okay sir, let me ring you up"

 

When I told my girlfriend at the time this story, she went silent and asked me, "Please tell me you know what an ipod is"

I seem to recall there's an Australian town called Tittybong.

 

And a small Amish community here in the states called Intercourse.

 

And, of course, there's Gropec*nt Alley in London. Charming place.

 

The world is full of silly, off-color names...

Rofl.. I stumbled over Wikipedia Shandy article. Fist I admit the English got use for their beer as well, but the writers of that article got only on third of the Names we use in German and its funny what they don't know. Monkey-Beer or by German name "Bannaenweizen" as an example Weizenbeer 50%+ Bananajuce 50% has gotten popular in the last 20 years /especially by students of  the higher classes, and not to mention the we did honey into our beer in our drinking horns as well, witch is historically and scientifically proved back to god knows. It should be known that for most Germans, beer equals liquid bread. What the author of this article not has covered up in translation from the German side is, would give you the shiver what names we give to our mixed beer.  More examples Ok: BMW 50% Pils Beer & 50% Mineral water also call in some region "Schneewitchen" aka Snow White, "Gummi-Bier" in English terms would be "Rubber-Beer", Beer+Energy drink, in some regions Diesel (beer and cola) is called "Moorwasser" in English translated "Bog water"......I could go on for a while but I can't wipe that smile in my face that is starting to hurt too much.......

I had a teacher who came to class without realising that her skirt was tucked into her stockings. We laughed so hard that the teacher noticed us and we were sent out of the room. She later brought us back to class and fixed her "mistake" but it was funny.
