The Top 5 Real-World Translations of Marketing Slogans
(Part I)

  1. "An army of one." -- "At least it will be if recruiting doesn't pick up."

  2. "Fly the friendly skies" -- "... after you've turned over your liquids to the friendly Homeland Security officer, taken off your shoes for the friendly X-ray machine and bent over for the friendly cavity search."

  3. "Power is nothing without control." -- "Hell, just ask Bill Clinton."

  4. "Whatever it is I think I see becomes a Tootsie Roll to me." -- "Life's pretty confusing since my toddler figured out how to remove his diaper."

    and the Number 1 Real-World Translation of a Marketing Slogan...

  5. "It's Miller time." -- "Life hasn't really panned out like you thought it would, has it?"
