I read in sci.electronics.design that Frank Bemelman wrote (in ) about 'Inverter Amplifier Circuit', on Thu, 6 Oct 2005:
There is no law against 'topping' someone's joke, if the 'top' is really witty and not malicious.
I like bilingual jokes, anyway. When I frequented the translators' newsgroup, we found a few trilingual ones.
In connection with the current US TV thing with the British Royals, the Prince of Wales' motto 'Ich dien' is bilingual German/Welsh. 'Ich Dien' means 'I serve', while 'Eich dyn' (pronounced very similarly, by some Welsh people anyway) is 'Your man'.
