* OT * >>"You can't have your cake and eat it too, in Japanese?"

But I guess that would play against the "niche" the Oriental Mysticism has created for themselves...
Do you think Labor Unions (world-wide), speak Japanese?

How do you say,

"You can't have your cake and eat it too, in Japanese?"<<

Mr Billetes, I just asked my Japanese colleague next door and the best we could come up with for your translation was: "nitto o oumono wa itto omoezu." Which translates directly into "if you chase two rabbits you will not get a single one". Or in a more formal tone " He who runs after two hares will catch neither". Could not find anything better but it does contain the concept of not being able to achieve two opposite goals...

Yours Sincerely,

Stephan Gilbert
