Because Boobs is off -- a Wednesday giggle

Not trying to replace our roast master -- but I know I needed a giggle and chuckle this morning -- so here we are"

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weight-lifting commentator:
"This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage commentator:
"This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast:
"I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

4. Boxing Analyst:
"Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.

5. Softball announcer:
"If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing
again."

6. Basketball analyst:
"He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

7. At the rowing medal ceremony:
"Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

8. Soccer commentator:
"Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

9. Tennis commentator:
"One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Diet Coke sprayed across the screen...

Thanks for subbing, KMF! Looks like some athletes (and former ones) have been knocked in the head a few too many times...

Those were great! Along the same lines, may I add a couple more things? Here are some signs that got "misdirected" in translation. Some have probably seen this, but I figured it's always entertaining to have another look:

Cocktail Lounge, Norway:
Ladies are requested not to have children in the lounge.

Doctor's office, Rome:
Specialist in women and other diseases.

Information booklet about using a hotel air conditioner, Japan:
Cooles and heats: If you want to condition of cool air in your room, please control yourself.

In a Nairobi restaurant:
Customer who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager.

On an Athi River highway:
Take Notice: When this sign is under water, this road is impassable.

Tokyo hotel:
Guests are requested not to smoke or do other disgusting behaviours in bed.

Hotel lobby, Bucharest:
The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.

Zurich Hotel:
Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in teh bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose.

Airlne ticket office, Copenhagen:
We take your bags and send them in all directions.

In a Tokyo bar:
Special cocktails for the ladies with nuts. Updated On: 9/1/04 at 11:48 AM
