Thanks !

One time,my mother related a story to me, she was travelling in Portugal and read a sign in a store (office equipment), that read along these lines (I do not remember verbatim):

"Se vende, secretaria com cadeira giratoria"

This, in Portuguese, (I understand), reads:

For sale, Desk with gyrating chair.....

However, in Spanish the same reads:

For sale, secretary with gyrating hip

I am glad I did not see the add, as I would have certainly enquired, and who knows what might have happened... he, he, he....
