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. 
"Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave."Ad slogan "Pepsi Comes Alive" as originally translated into Chinese. 
"We pray for McArthur's erection."Sign erected by Japanese citizens in Tokyo, when McArthur was considering a run for President. 
"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.

pan-himalayan railroad

Chinese press is flooding with the news of China’s newest engineering feat – the completion of a railroad linking Lhasa (Tibet) with Eastern China. The country is celebrating this key achievement while the western press is once again applauding in awe and giving out mixed speculations. For example, this photo story contains some lines: “There are fears the railway will speed up the immigration of ethnic Chinese into Tibet, threatening its distinct cultural and religious identity.” “Tibetan groups and foreign critics say the railway’s real aim is political, as a symbol of China’s administrative and military control over a contested border region.” “...............................................” “..............................” All I can say about such statements is that leading people from China will undoubtedly laugh down these types of comments made by western media companies. This task in itself is a great combination of hard work, intellect and brotherhood, which in itself is a s...

the most boring page on the internet

Some people are born boring; others like John Ingram, thrust boredom upon the rest of the world. And so as we tread upon the gargantuan bog called the Internet, we slip and wonder: why? Why did John Ingram create a site that has nothing but just 413 (exactly) words of text? Why did he create a site that has no meaning, no reason to exist, and no way to earn him even a cent, forget a fortune? But it takes all kinds, and Ingram is one of those. He is rational in his thought, grammatically correct in his writing (although) for some reason he hates capital letters), and has enough reasons to keep the world’s most boring site alive at all times since its “founding” in 1996. Is that why his site has now been translated into 12 languages including Finnish, French, Swedish, Norwegian, and, hold your breath, ladies and gentleman, Pig Latin? World War II is obviously history since here we have a German as well as a Hebrew translation sitting right next to each other. The site, Ingram informs us...

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. Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
 Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more.
 But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
 "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
 One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more,
 Just, "Abort...
