Delightful! Great shot # 7, but all of them are good. Have no idea what the last phrases are, except for the nursery rhyme with "rubba dub dub..."

Hysterical! When I was 16 and moved to England for 3 years, I was humiliated in public when I just couldn't understand what anyone said. I watched telly for a couple of weeks and got my ears tuned in and was ok after that...and it wasn't even Cockney!

Very funny! My favorite is the last one, it has so much work. But Jon, Spanish people cannot play this game, because we read like we write. I mean that the way of writing is almost always like the phoneme, so it's hard for me think and understand the joke :(

I note that 'trouble and strife' is missing or perhaps you didn't want to risk it? The Holy Ghost image is making me laugh so much I can barely type. Signed, The Shining Wit (no translation required)
