hilarious mistakes - mis-speech from famous people



Here are some funny mistakes that some famous people made during speech. It was totally unintended, but here they are:
"I want to make sure everybody who has a job wants a job." - George Bush, during his first Presidential campaign. 
"This is a great day for France!"- Richard Nixon, while attending Charles De Gaulle's funeral. 
"For seven and a half years I've worked alongside President Reagan. We've had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We've had some sex ... uh... setbacks."- George Bush. 
"I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy. But that could change."- Dan Quayle.
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind - or not to have a mind. How true that is."- Dan Quayle addressing the United Negro College Fund. 
"I am honored today to begin my first term as the Governor of Baltimore-that is Maryland."- William Donald Schaefer, first inaugural address. 
"If I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough I would be convinced that we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed."- Ronald Reagan. 
"Now we are trying to get unemployment to go up and I think we're going to succeed."- Ronald Reagan. 
"Bite the wax tadpole"
Coca-Cola as originally translated into Chinese.

"You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid."- From a guest directory at a Japanese hotel, 1991. 
"It takes a virile man to make a chicken pregnant."- Perdue chicken ad, as mis-translated abroad. 
ANAL - Original version for All Nippon Airlines Logo
"Nixon has been sitting in the White House while George McGovern has been exposing himself to the people of the United States."- Frank Licht, then governor of Rhode Island, campaigning for McGovern in 1972. 
"Retraction: The 'Greek Special' is a huge 18 inch pizza and not a huge 18 inch penis, as described in an ad. Blondie's Pizza would like to apologize for any confusion Friday's ad may have caused."
- Correction printed in The Daily Californian.
They X-Rayed my head and found nothing.- Jerome "Dizzy" Dean.
And these beauties from the radio:
Ladies and gentlemen, now you can have a bikini for a ridiculous figure. 
When you are thirsty, try 7-Up, the refreshing drink in the green bottle with the big 7 on it and u-p after. 
Tune in next week for another series of classical music programs from the Canadian Broadcorping Castration.

this symbol is called a lemniscate, and other facts

The technical term for your foot "falling asleep" is "taresthesia". "Pins and needles" is really called "paresthesia". Great Britain has invaded about 90% of the world's countries. There's a brand of hand sanitizer called "Maybe You Touched Your Genitals".

abort, retry, ignore poem

The infamous Abort, Retry, Ignore message box of Windows, with no option given to close it. Found this classic and fun poem about the "Abort, Retry, Ignore" message. I have been able to trace back the source to Annoyances.org. Here it is: Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary, System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor, Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer, I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store, Only this and nothing more.

an inflating flashbag

This is a flash drive. A flashbag, more accurately. When it is empty, it is slim and as data is filled into it, the bag starts to inflate until it is full. How ingenious! The creators have applied micro- pumps to achieve this, as stated in their site . When the device is about to blow off, it gives a message - "There is not enough free space". At times when it is not plugged in, it remains inflated relative to the amount of data it is holding. There are other innovative products from the creators of flashbag - such as C'ALL future phone , Balloophone , AllTunes , GMEA , Trings and Remobeads . Great, PlusMinus ! Kudos to your grey cells.
