"Casi cada uno que puede funcionar, saltar, o la nadada ha salido ya del pams."

Translation: "Pretty much everyone who can run, jump, or swim has already left the country."

France is suing Mexico for a refund of $10 billion for submarines made in Mexico. It seem that adobe doesn’t work too well underwater.

A Frenchman, a Englishman, and a Mexican decided to get into the Olympics without paying.

The Frenchman put on a track suit and went to the gate and said “Morise LaGrow, France, 100 meter dash”...They let him in.

The English man showed up in a track suit, dragging a 16 foot pole, and said “Basil Swarthmore, England, pole vaulting”... They let him in.

The Mexican showed up in a track suit, with barbed wire wrapped all around him and said “Manuel Lopes, Mexico, fencing”

The friend who sent you that speaks lousy Spanish. Or speaks no Spanish at all and used the notorious Babelfish.

“Translations” like that are the reason I do not advise anyone to use Babelfish unless they are really desperate.
