Need funny sentences with a double/ambiguous meaning.

I am just curious, because I would be in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian Yahoo pages, not U.S.A.

Some in this forum work as translators, that's how they pay their rent, pay their car payment, and buy food, they give specific answers, yet even when they are selected as the "Best Answer" all they may get is a "tx".
