Meme Thread

Ideally I'd found some sort of multilingual 9GAG, but...

The idea is simple: post a meme in your TL and give as many translations as you can. For long stuff like this
Image
a translation/retelling in English would do:
5 cannibals came to work in a firm. Their boss told them: "You can work here, earn decent money, but don't touch our employees!" The cannibals agreed and said they won't bother anyone. Four weeks later the boss came and said: "You work very good, but we lost a cleaning lady, don't you know what's with her?" All the cannibals replied "NO" simultaneously and said they have nothing to do with that. When the boss went away, the main cannibal spoke: "Which of you ate this cleaning lady?". A shy voice from the back replied "That was me!" The main cannibal said: "You are an idiot. We have already eaten the department head, the regional sales director and the main controlling manager, and no one noticed, and you, imbecile, eat a cleaning lady!
Moral: some are missed, some are not! :)


And a bonus from me as the OP:

That's an old photo.

Mother, what is a marriage?
You know, my little daughter, this comes in time when you adopt an adult man, whose mother doesn't want to look after him anymore...

Czech Frenzy

I have a cold - drugstore - In the drugstore I am offered to take beta carotene - I told them that I'll wait for the full version

Stats are a good thing, according to which I went to a seashore on my vacation.

(also, fajn=fine, even from the point of pronunciation)

"I got a problem. I can't sleep"
"Then try to do what I do. I count till three and after that I'm 100% asleep."
"Really, I need to count till just three?"
"Well, sometimes to half past three."
