when i was about 14 (yes i know, quite old!) i was watching the news at the dinner table and a news story comes up, as they do on the news.
this man is in hysterics (in another language) so they have another guy translating.
hes saying, "the guerillas took my family and burnt down my home! the guerillas!"
i thort they were talking about GORILLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and had this mental image of goruillas taking away this man's family and wrecking his house!!!

- I used to believe that translating from language into language was only a matter of changing letters ! :) — EwS
- I believed Walter Cronkite knew everything, that's why they let him do the news.— Dixon
- From a TV news program about freedom fighters, I though that `Gorrillas` could use guns.— adrian
- I used to think that the Huey Lewis and the News song "I Want a New Drug" went "I Want a New Truck".— Chloe
