a cleveland steamer will help your love life!
Quote :
"If you’re looking to romance that special someone, forget about spa treatments and up-market dinner dates in Tremont (save that for tomorrow’s deal). Steam it up courtesy of today’s offer from Cleveland Steamer with an eco-friendly carpet cleaning and deodorization for three areas (up to 900 square feet) for $69 (regularly $180). Your beau will swoon over the attention to detail and how the carpet won’t just be clean, but protected and odor-free. What’s more, this truck-mount steam-cleaning service uses only green products so you can be sure to keep the chemistry in your relationship, but the chemicals out of your home. Cleveland Steamer’s been going ten years strong. Let them boost the longevity of your carpets — and your love life."

When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you. However, the company mistakenly thought the Spanish word embarazar meant embarrass.
Instead the ads said:
It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."

What exactly is 'Hand Shredded A$$ Meat'? A new dictionary for Chinese restaurants may tell you

Quote :
"BEIJING – Overseas tourists often find the menus here befuddling, for good reason.
After all, what Westerner has experience with foods like these? “Cowboy leg,” “Hand-shredded ass meat,” “Red-burned lion head,” “Strange flavor noodles,” “Blow-up flatfish with no result,” or “Tofu made by woman with freckles.”
As proud as the Chinese people are of their thousands of years of gastronomic culture, even a Chinese native can feel disoriented when going to another province, given all the different styles of cooking. Many of the food names, often unique to different provinces, get lost in translation, especially in booming cities starting to embrace overseas tourists."
