I shouted to the waiter, "WAITER!" There's a giant grain of  salt in this 
tiny saltshaker. Believing he was an expert in those things, and  being so 
mortified, I begged him to give me an answer as to what that enormous  grain of salt 
was doing in my sad saltshaker. Completely a gentleman, he kindly  said to 
me, "Yes Sir, I won't be but a moment," so I put my faith in him.   Then, he 
vanished. My poor heart was about to to burst, but immediately the  young waiter 
reappeared with a tremendous Margarita. All he said to me, and with  much 
respect, was, "First take off the small top of the saltshaker, then remove  that 
huge piece of salt, and you toss it in, and you have her all for  you!!

Not much better than "Babblefish" (Sorry).  Then again, the  translation 
itself may have been funnier than the original.  Words like  Margarita have 
multiple meanings.  Margarita=tropical drink, a pearl, a  flower, and even a 
girl...Gentleman became horseman or knight, etc..Glad I don't  depend on this to 
post:-)
