Here is an original joke by Lewis W. Call and myself:

A small survey of some popular European languages:

Spanish:

Everything you say makes you sound hungry.

Russian:

There are 33 different ways to say, "Comrade, pass the vodka or I shoot you."

French:

Every French sentence carries the implicit connotation that you want to have sex with the person you are talking to.

German:

The German word for "hello" is "Echsteinlefahrtengruber". The German translation for "Hey Hans, what say tomorrow morning we climb into our tanks and roll over Poland?" is "Hans, Poland, ja?"
