The first line in the national anthem of Chile says, pure chile with your skys blue... But it also sounds pure Chile with heaven by your side. Argentina is by Chile. They hate each other.

Puro Chile con sus cielos a su lados. (Heaven is next door)

They sound exactly the same.

Mum, who speaks some German, asked what he meant. He said that they had seen signs for Ausfarht all the way from the airport and where they had turned off...

There are a lot of jokes in France based on the TV comedy sketch from "Les Inconnus" (3 guys playing together) that were incredibly successful in the 1990s (to the point where I think that 25 years later, nobody has been as funny as them in French since.

The most famous one is "Le bon chasseur, il voit quelque chose qui bouge, il tire, le mauvais chasseur, il voit quelque chose qui bouge, il tire, mais c'est pas la même chose" translating as "When a good hunter sees something moving, he has to shoot, when a bad hunter sees something moving, well, he has to shoot, but that's totally different."

It is a quite funny and deep reflection on how our judgements and norms are sometimes hypocritical and arbitrary.

I went to Poland for my studies and made a joke about Portuguese people that were house builder. Absolutely nobody of my polish, italian or spanish friend get the joke.
