Joke...

A foreigner shot himself dead after trying to translate this from Russian:
"За песчаной косой лопоухий косой пал под острой косой косой бабы с косой..."

P.S. I had to read it three times to understand the whole phrase. What about you? ;)

Update: classic "косил косой косой косой" has at least two completely different meanings..

Take Russian profanities, for example. There's a classic example of a colourful obscene speech using only one root for all the words and meaning: «Wow! You did much too much! For what purpose, why have you idiots loaded such a huge amount of this crappy stuff? Are you totally crazy, you stupid morons? Enough being lazy, unload this crap faster!»

I'm not sure if rules here allow mat in all its glory. :)
