Coors beer put its slogan, “Turn it loose,” into Spanish, where it was read as “Suffer from diarrhoea.”

Bacardi concocted a fruity drink with the name “Pavian” to suggest French chic…but “pavian” translates as “baboon” in German.

A hair products company, Clairol, introduced the “Mist Stick”, a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that mist is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the manure stick.

When Pepsi started marketing its products in China a few years back, they translated their slogan, “Pepsi Brings You Back to Life” literally. The slogan in Chinese really meant, “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave.”

G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….  

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave.

The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, ‘Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?’

The first man approached him and said, ‘Sir, I don’t wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I’ve ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply?  A child?  A parent?’

The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied…….. ‘My wife’s first husband.’

What movie is this quote from???   “The last time I trusted a dame was in Paris in 1940, she said she was going out to get a bottle of wine. Two hours later the Germans marched into France.” 

Answer: Murder by Death! A film with too many actors too name and too many lines to quote. Spoken by Peter Falk to Eileen Brennan while driving his car in the fog at the beginning of the film. His car runs out of gas so he sends her walking 5 miles to the nearest station. When she returns he sends her back to get oil. His reasoning for the two trips is that he sent her with a $50 bill and didn’t know if she would come back. He doesn’t trust women because of his experience in 1940.
