Lost in translation

While working as a secretary for a camping equipment company some years ago, I heard through the headphones of my dictation machine: "A tent is not a dwelling place made of bricks and water, but is rather a skin of fabric between you and the elephants." Made sense, I thought, as my boss was taking samples of our tents to an expo (maybe he was going to Africa?). He roared with laughter and called me in to tell me that what he'd actually said was: "A tent is not a dwelling place, made of bricks and mortar, but is rather a skin of fabric between you and the elements."
