Our Ford joke is less nasty. But it plays with words, hence cannot be translated.

I did not believe that FORD was so bad, at least over here. So I checked the statistics of our largest automobile association ...

I had a Ford Fiesta during university and can't complain. At 100 mph it started to rattle, but otherwise, it was ok.

Guess you couldn't take it out into the Autobahn.. I had a Saturn at one point. No complaints either.

In der Pannenstatistik-Tabelle finden Sie alle gewerteten Modellreihen, alphabetisch sortiert und in Fahrzeugklassen eingeteilt. Hinweis: Wenn Sie auf einen der Umschaltpfeile am Kopf der Tabelle klicken, bekommen Sie die jeweils nächste Fahrzeugklasse angezeigt. Die Bewertung der Pannenhäufigkeit folgt dem Farbschema Dunkelgrün (= sehr niedrig ) bis Rot (= sehr hoch).

It probably won't win a prize for eloquent expressions, but it is not bad. And the more formulas and numbers a page has, the better the translation. I sometimes use it in case I find a German Wikipedia page better than the English version since I'm usually too lazy to translate it. It delivers 90% of the work and I only have to correct the mistakes. It multiplies the number of available pages enormously. But I admit that German and English are not that different, so the results are normally good enough.

It's interesting that Firefox does not have such a convenient mechanism, but I guess since Chrome and Google Translate are related by <a large corporation named for a large number>, it makes sense to have that level of integration.

Yes, I have a similar suspicion.

I don't like the memory management in FF. Chrome splits into various threads whereas FF piles up in one. I hate to say it, but big <insert a company or branch of your choice> isn't automatically evil.

Why have I never heard of "Für Ossis reicht das" before?
("Good enough for people in/from East Germany", although the translation loses some of the meaning)

Mine goes:

"What is the oldest car in the world?"
"A Ford. In der Bibel steht, Adam und Eva trieben es in einem Ford."

A chance to look up old friends?

Middle ages. Two fortresses are fighting each other. The first one shoots a cannonball. The second one shoots. The first one shoots. The fighting stops. The second fortress sends a negotiator to ask: why have we stopped fighting? The first one answers: you have got the cannonball.

Patient: I have terrible wind doctor. It’s very uncomfortable. Fortunately it is odourless. And when I break-wind it is silent. In fact it’s happening now.

Doctor: Try this [writes prescription].

One week later…

Patient: That medicine for my wind was terrible doctor. I still have wind but now it smells absolutely dreadful.

Doctor: Ah, good. That’s your sense of smell sorted. Let’s see what we can do about the deafness.

An inebriated gentleman runs up to a policeman: “Officer, you got to help me. Somebody stole my car!”

“OK, sir, where did you have your car last?”

(Holding up ignition key) “Right here on the end of this key!”

“Alright,” smiled the cop, “Let’s go down to the station and report it. And before we go, please zip up your zipper.”

The drunk looks down and says, “Oh, my God. Somebody stole my girlfriend too.”
