Hace ya un tiempo leí un par de libros muy divertidos de José María Firpo, un docente uruguayo, que recopiló errores y frases graciosas de los trabajos de sus estudiantes. Los libros son "La mosca es un incesto" y, creo, "Los indios son penetrantes". Algunas de las frases están en Espacio Latino, un sitio sobre Letras del Uruguay. Me acordé de esos libros por que encontré un sitio canadiense donde se hace algo parecido. El sitio es simple; sólo lista las frases sin aclarar nombres o lugar etc. Algunas de las frases son:
- 4. Why was Jesus born? Because Mary had immacualte contraption.
- 5. What were the people of Egypt called? Mummies. They made unleavened bread which was made with no ingredients, and that's why they all died at once.
- 7. Why was Sir Francis Drake an important explorer? He sailed around and circumcised the world with a 30 metre clipper.
- 14. Why is the Magna Carta important? It is a paper that says free people should not be hanged twice for the same crime. Slaves, therefore, could be hanged more than once, depending on how many crimes they had committed.
- 18. Who was Abraham Lincoln? He was an American president whose mother died in infancy. He signed the Emasculation Proclamation. He was assasinated by John Wilkes Booth who was an actor in a movie.
Tambien se listan frases con errores tomadas de propagandas en periódicos con el objeto de que los "teachers" pidan a sus alumnos corregirlas:
- Why go somewhere else and get cheated? See us first.
- Puppy for sale. Eat everything and likes children.
- Honest worker. Will take anything.
- Wanted: antique desk for lady with thick legs and large drawers.
- Car mainenance & repair. Try us and you'll never go anywhere again.
