Group of French Businessmen Stuck in Dallas
Overheard at the airport: "Zut, alors! Allons a la taverne des tetons!"

Tune in to our Eyewitness News at 11 for the translation.

2. Wonder if they are going to use Babel Fish

3. I don't think Babel Fish can handle
translating "titty bar." Some things are just too idiomatic.

4. It was worth the laugh to see
how it handled it. Wondering how they will phrase it on the news. Thinking titty bar is not going to make it.
