I want book.

In the review it quoted this atlas entry on Wales:

Wales is the birthplace of the "oldest, longest, least pronounceable language in the world. When spoken, it sounds like a beautiful song, but when written, it looks like the alphabet just vomited."

I was on an airplane when I read that and I laughed so loudly I am sure the other passengers were thinking, "oh great, we got a drunk on the plane."

Second, and even better, is the instructions my husband just handed me. My son got a "torch pen" for participating in a the soccer fundraiser. It's a little pen that has a switch that turns on a teeny flashlight. Following are the instructions (and spelling) exactly as they appear:

1. The torch pen can be putting on the neck.
2. It can be used as flashlight(you also can take out the torch case as flashlight).
3. The torch case can turn around 180, it can be used as flashlight while bulb tuming up, while the bulb is turning down, you can write words in the dark.

I laughed really hard discussing Juan Carlos "por que no te callas ?" to Hugo Chavez.

Had similar stories on the public transportation or in the street thinking about something and giggling out loud.

The worst was at uni, we had a teacher named Mr Lapoule (Mr Hen)who was talking about business strategy and a schoolmate comments "i think the best is not to put all your eggs in the same basket".
I litterally bite my tongue not to laugh.

Don't know if I could have held the laughter in on that one.

Carla, to be fair I did forget to mention that there is also a string and you can wear it around your neck. But "be putting on the neck" is some pretty wretched Engrish.
