    A couple just had a baby. Right after birth the little boy looks up to his parents and says: "Hi mom, hi dad!". The doctor was shocked and said: "I am sorry, but your child is far to intelligent. We have to remove half of his brain so that he better fits into society". So the doctor removes half of the little boys brain. After the surgery the boy wakes up, looks at his parents and says: "E = mc²" The doctor is shocked and tells the parents: "I am really sorry, but your boy ist still far to itelligent to function in modern society. It's sad, but we have to remove the other half of his brain as well." Said and done, so they remove the other half of his brain and put in an old bun. It talkes a while but after a few hours the boy wakes up from his surgery. He looks up to his parents and says: "Good evening Sir, traffic check. Drivers licence and car documents please!"

      Wow! That's miraculous! Going back into the womb, and together! Talk about becoming one!

        That little mistake is common if you happen to speak German. It's too tempting to translate bekommen with become. I once heard a impatient tourist ask the burger flipper when he will finally become a hamburger. :)

            LOL. Likewise, when translating from english to spanish, it's tempting to translate the english word "embarrassed" as "embarazada" (pregnant), as in "The Bishop made me get up here and now I'm embarrassed." is misspoken by an American female missionary as "El Obispo me obligó llegar aquí y ahora me estoy embarazada." instead of "avergonzado." Still, can't help but make fun of those misspoken phrases...
