Unintentional humour

Yesterday's mail included a flyer from an icelandic company who sell a risk management program - one of many on the market, from my perspective, and one of many that are just glorified spreadsheets. Oh well.

Anyway, lots of fun. There are German and English flyers; the German flyers have obviously been translated by a professional, and then there were last minute add-ins by technical people who do not really speak the language. One is reminded of chinese manuals.

The highlight for me is a customer testimonial that reads

Icelandic society is the society which comes closest to being called a cashless society.

Guys, you are SO right. I mean, what do you mean "come closest"? YOU HAVE NO CASH, we all read that in the papers a couple of weeks ago.

ROTFL.
