A Canadian was in France, out of his wallet he removed a stick of gum he had bought from the airport in Canada and started to chew it. 

He walked into a French coffee shop and sat himself beside an English-speaking French man.

Frenchman: In Canada, what do you do with your used tires?
Canadian: We send them to France to get turned into paper plates.
French man: What do you do with your used plastic bags?
Canadian: (after blowing a huge bubble) We send them to France to get turned into picket fences. Hey, what do you do with your used crazy glue?
French man: We send it to Canada to get turned into bubble gum!

The woman agreed, and then put her money on the table.
The next thing the guy who gave the advice knew, the woman had fainted and fallen to the floor. He rushed right over. Did she win? he asked.
No, replied the attendant.

A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when he found his blonde CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in her hand.
'Listen,' said the CEO, 'this is a very sensitive and important document here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work for me?'
'Certainly,' said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
'Excellent, excellent!' said the CEO, as her paper disappeared inside the machine.

The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax" depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth."
In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."
