Back in 1999, the governor of Texas, a certain George 'Dubb-ya' Bush, told a Slovakian journalist that "the only thing I know about Slovakia is what I learned firsthand from your foreign minister, who came to Texas. I had a great meeting with him. It's an exciting country." Unfortunately, Mr. Bush had never met with any representative of Slovakia, rather the SLOVENIAN Prime Minister of the time, Janez Drnovsek!

However it feels good not to be the only dummy

The nice people who wrote the article give me at least some excuses - I claim them all:

Quote:

Both countries became EU members in 2004.

Both countries became independent in the early 90s from larger Communist nations.

Both countries have Karst regions.

Both countries have officially-recognized Hungarian minorities.

Both countries border Austria.

Both countries have white-blue-red flags.

Both countries have shield-shaped coats of arms in the top-left of their flag.

Both of the above-mentioned coats of arms feature mountains with 3 peaks.

Both countries were once a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

A female resident of both countries is a 'Slovenka' in her native tongue.

The adjective form in both countries, in their respecitve languages is 'Slovensk..'

This previous fact means that you'll find Slovenska. Televizia in Slovakia, and Slovenske Zeleznice in Slovenia. Although both would be possible the other way around!

Reminds me of a joke:

The Slovenes were insulted by the Americans, so they bombed New York. The US president said we will bomb Slovenia until they beg for mercy. So they send in their bombers and bomb all day, nothing, not a word from Ljubljana. So the next day they send in all their missiles, still nothing. On the third day they start dropping nukes, not a word. The president calls his generals to ask them whats going on. No one knows. All of a sudden the secretary of state comes in and says: ''mr. president, a strange thing, Slovaks have been beging us for mercy for three days now for no apparent reason''

The funniest jokes are the ones based in truth.

We got used to it. A word mixup, wrong anthem and so on. We usualy get by with a 7,4 million strong epic facepalm (2 million Slovenia plus 5,4 million Slovakia).

But there's less and less of that. It means we're getting more recognition

Penguin · 08-29-11, 03:39 PM

good one!

So the Australians are lucky that Reagan was not in power in WW2

Jimbuna · 08-30-11, 07:18 AM

Reminds me of this 'oldie'.

George Bush is being giving his daily briefing. He is told that yesterday three Brazilian soldiers were killed.

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sit stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally he looks up with a devastated expression on his face and he asks, "How many is a brazillion?'

Went to see "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" last night, and it didn't suck.

Wasn't as good as the original which scared me witless as a kid, but it was a decent popcorn muncher and sure beat the heck out of the "Vampire Flavor of the Month" flicks which make up most of the horror genre today.

It did get less scary once the monsters were fully revealed, but at least they weren't cupie dolls like the original.

Jimbuna · 08-30-11, 02:48 PM

I've seen that and yes I must agree
