My daughter's (Jewish) primary school once put on a play featuring a Doctor Who-like character, but who was actually Doctor Me (the word for 'who' in Hebrew is pronounced as 'me').  The script called for multiple walk-ons, deliberately to make use of the pun.  ("Wait, who are you?" "Yes, I'm Me!" "Who?" "Me!" "Sorry, but you are me?" "Yes, that's right! Who!" "Uh, me?" and so on) - cue 10yo moppets laughing their heads off every time.
Sounds like a modification of who's on first.

Love that bit! Feel like it could also be tied into Doctor Who if it hasn't been already.

Why does the Swedish defence force put barcodes on all its ships?

Purple Wyrm, that  :)) didn't  :)) make me  :)) laugh at all. :'D

I found a statement that is apparently best delivered by a French person, so here I go:

I have four-twenty-ten-nine problems, and one of them is my country's counting system.

Why doesn't the Norwegian navy?

They're worried that this might result in problems when the landing troops first have to disem-barc o' de ships.

I used to write my fanfics in French, and I saw the difference when a Belgian person started publishing in the same fandom as me. At the time, it made me feel like I was reading English translated word-to-word.

Ah? The staff's training has been improved, then. The last escape had turned into an all-out pandamonium.
