Sister Mary Ann, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound patients when she ran out of gas. Fortunately, an Exxon station was just a block away. She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas.

The attendant told her that the only gas can he owned had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned. Since Sister Mary Ann was on the way to see a patient, she decided not to wait, and walked back to her car.

She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas, and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient. Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car.

As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptist ladies watched from across the street. One of them turned to the other and said, "If it starts, I'm turning Catholic."

From Wikipedia:

“The Mitsubishi Pajero is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It is known as the Mitsubishi Montero in the Americas (except Brazil) and Spain, and as Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom. It was named after a mountain cat that inhabits the Patagonia plateau region in southern Argentina.[1] However, the name Montero (meaning “mountain warrior”) was adopted in Spanish language markets because Pajero is a slang term for “wanker”.”

My best friend is Dutch and spoke very little English when she first came here. Her husband advised her to use English words where she could and subustute a Dutch word when she had to. She took her car to the local garage when she suspected something was wrong. She didn't know the English words, back axle, so she substituted a Dutch word for axle which was something like “ass”.
She told the mechanic that she “had something wrong with her ass”. All of the mechanics were intrigued and came up to check her out.

Chevy tried to market the old Nova in Mexico. No va in Spanish means “no go”.

In late 1973, my parents bought a brand-new 1974 Chevrolet, and immediately upon delivery, we took it on an extended tour of Mexico's central mountains (in the area of Parral, where my grandfather lived before, during, and after the revolution).

My dad was a prolific photographer, with a love for religious architecture, so we spent a lot of time in little towns out in the middle of nowhere (probably not even remotely safe today, but it was great back then).

In one little village, we stopped at the Plaza for him to take photos of the town's church, and a group of local kids crowded around to see who we were. They pointed at our car and laughed.

Well, my dad was pretty proud of his new car, and it bothered him. So he and my mother asked them what was so funny. They pointed to the sign on the fender, and said, “Nova: “no va means ‘it doesn't go’”. Apparently, Chevy found out the same thing a few years later when they tried to sell Novas in Mexico, and they had to change to name so people would buy them.

As I was driving to work yesterday I saw a sandwich board outside of an apartment building that said:

"STD's for Rent"

When I went back today to get a picture it had been changed to:

"Studio Apt.'s for Rent"

Darn.

Chevy had a car model called Nova. In Spanish, No va means no go
