a laugh a minute

I returned from Russia after living there nearly two years. My sister decided to surprise me by creating 'welcome home' signs in Russian. She went to a website that offered trnslations and typed in 'Welcome
Home, Cole'. She then printed the translated phrase onto about 20 coloured cardboard signs. When I
got off the plane, the first thing I saw was my family, excitedly waving posters printed with a strange
message. My sister gave me a big hug, and pointed proudly to her creations. 'Isn't that great?' she said.

'Bet you didn't think I knew any Russian.' I admitted that I was indeed surprised - and so was she when I told her what the signs actually said: 'Translation not found.' (reader's digest)
