Would a multi-lingual Monk post an english translation for the benefit of the (hopefully not too) ugly Americans among us ? :^P BabelFish does enough to enjoy the humor, but I suspect there are subtleties that don't survive it's rough translation.
Update: gaggio tells me that much of the humor would be lost in a literal translation. Phonetic puns and such. Ahh, the folly of monoculturalism ;^P
