I work for a semiconductor company which45 makes electronic chips. On being asked about what I do, I once told to one of my aunts that after completing my electronics engineering, I had started working in a chip designing company.我为一家制造电脑晶片的半导体公司工作。有一次，我的一位阿姨问我是做什么的，我告诉她我在完成电子工程的学业后，开始在一家芯片设计公司工作。After a pause for few seconds, she asked:停顿了几秒后，她问道："What are your most popular flavors? Are the chips as good as Lays??"“那你最喜欢什么口味呢？那些薯片和乐事一样好吃吗？”I had no idea what to say.我不知道该说什么好。

注：Chip双关，是芯片，又是薯片。

The most illogical question that every student in India must have been asked by his/her teacher:在印度，每个的学生都曾被他/她的老师问到的最没有意义的问题：

"Homework kaisa bhul gaye ? Kabhi khaana khana bhulte ho ?"

Translation:翻译过来就是："How did you forget doing your Homework? Do you ever forget eating food ?"“你怎么能忘记做作业？你有忘记过吃东西吗？”Just doesn't make sense.这根本就说不通啊。
