When Bombardier (Canadian?) sold lawnmowers to the U.K. they sent them dry
with the label "NO OIL" on them.  Sure enough, the new purchasers followed
the instructions and promptly ran the bearings dry.  Didn't J.F.K. get the
first prize with " ICH BIN EIN BERLINNER" which translates as "I AM A MEAT
SAUSAGE"?
