Bable fish mangles yet another quote.

My original quote? "I mock you with my monkey pants." Which some of you won't get at all.
I would not translate 'mock,' so I changed it to 'ridicule.'

Translated to: Greek and back. It became "To you I ridicule with my underwears of apes."
Then to Italian and back. I got "To you ridicule of with mine underwears of the monkeys."

Underwears got stuck. I didn't know that there was a plural of underwear.

Then I translated: "I laugh in the face of danger." It's been said many a time.

Chinese and back: "I smile in front of the danger."

Korean and back: "Me it smiles from before danger."

Then I got bored.
