Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation #1
(secondhand conversation as friends discuss fantasies)
Man: My fantasy would be to have Swedish twins.

Woman: So would you move to Sweden to have the babies, or is it only important that the mother is Swedish?

Filed under sweet but innocent.

Lost in Translation #2

(firsthand paraphrasing while channel surfing)
"Anna Nicole Smith lived her life, for better or for worse, in the glare of the media spotlight..."
- Entertainment Tonight anchor Mary Hart

Pretty sure it was for worse, Mary.

I think the spotlight gave her the chance to be a higher grade of crack whore.
