Oh yeah, something funny I heard the other day:
An American diplomat was recently assigned to the UN. At his first meeting, the German represenative had something to say, so a translator came and sat down next to the American. The German started talking and continued to do so for quite some time without any word from the Translator, all the while the American grew more and more worried that he was missing out on something important. Finally (the German was still speaking), the American turned to the translator and demanded "Why aren't you telling me what he's saying?". The translator, without even looking at the American casually replied "Because he hasn't gotten to the verb yet."
I like that one...
