  1. KinkyTom says:

    I prefer my scrambled eggs with an Alley-oop

  2. Um….la conejita….(name)

  3. Sparrow says:

    Not as bad as a manager I once worked with who thought he remembered more of his high-school Spanish than he did. He thought he asked room service for fried eggs on toast. He asked for fried eggs on the maid.

  4. suntiger says:

    Double fail – Jamon means ham, not jam!

  5. ShadowSplicer says:

    Hey Dr. H! What city do you live in? I would like to see what time it is here (relative to where I am)

    • la conejita says:

      All I know is that she is south of the river, so they consider her a Mexican.

      • dr handle says:

        Yep, I live in Victoria, and Victorians are often referred to as Mexicans, because it’s the most southerly part of the mainland and it’s northernmost border is (for most of the way) one of the country’s major rivers. Victoria is GMT + 10h, (plus one more hour at the moment for daylight raving). South Australia (the Crow Eaters – I don’t want to know why they’re called that) is half an hour behind Victoria.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      SS: I know you’re impatient sometimes, so I’ll answer. Australian Eastern Standard Time + 1 hour for daylight saving (now). DrH is somewhere near Melbourne, I think.

  6. catgirl says:

    I’m surprised this one was voted so low. I think it’s hilarious.

  7. Jon says:

    I do not like scrambled eggs and jam.
    I do not like them, Sam I Am.

    • dr handle says:

      Crud, third go at getting this link in without it being moderated away…

      Oh no, now I have parts of the Dr Seuss Purity Test running through my head… as ever, replace the capitals with the punctuation.

      httpCOLON//wwwDOTjoke-archives.com/dating/drseusspurity.html

      I am 90% pure. I’m not sure if that is admirable, or just sad.

  8. Monkat says:

    Fail. In Spanish, it would be pronounced ‘ham’ anyway. Not much of an engrish…

    • Janet24 says:

      You seem to miss the point of Engrish. It’s not about how it’s pronounce in Spanish, it’s how it’s read in English.

  9. Droll not Troll says:

    I like pig jam!

  10. dr handle says:

    One of the Two Fat Ladies told a story of how she tried out her practically-non-existent Spanish once, trying to order two boiled eggs; what she actually asked for (and what the hotel’s kitchen carefully prepared and sent her) was two boiled grapes.

  11. dr handle says:

    I’m an idiot; I posted the following and it was moderated away, because I used the highly offensive g-word…

    • bluejade says:

      Just don’t ask the young man at the market if he has eggs, because he does, and he will gladly describe them.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      I wish they’d fix that ‘bot instead of trying to fix what ain’t busted. Oddly enough, the bot doesn’t seem to catch bugger or ass anymore.

  12. JohnB says:

    Seems like we have another “false friend” from Spanish to English. A little jam (or ham, for that matter) wouldn’t help if the eggs were revolting!

  13. Man-Shark says:

    Jam, jam, jam, jam, eggs and jam

  14. Wriss says:

    It’s been pointed out twice already but I feel like I should say that jamón means ham. It is a false cognate. It looks like it would translate to jam, but it translates to ham.

  15. lexan D says:

    One letter between yum and yuk? I’ll go with yak on this one.

  16. LaEscopeta says:

    High school class goes to Mexican restaurant to practice their Spanish. Young lady tries to order dos huevos rancheros. Waiter responds “Señorita, todos nuestros Rancheros aquí tienen dos huevos”

  17. G-Man says:

    We ran into this a few time in Costa Rica (although not in the Yucatan or the D.R.)…it was very confusing the first time, until we asked the waitress and she said “Si, chhham.”
    I would like to say that jam is yum on scrambled eggs. Just don’t mix the jam into the eggs while cooking, ’cause it gets a bit funky.

  18. Demetrius says:

    At the McDonalds here they automatically give you a packet of jam when you order a ham and egg biscuit. Maybe that’s just the way people here like it. (I do!) Maybe they just aren’t very good at Spanish.

  19. Rivahcat says:

    Sounds pretty revuelting to ME.

  20. Xeltrio says:

    More than engrish, i think this is just a typo
    H is just besides J, and that the only flaw in that sentence :P

  21. Seeker says:

    actually “jamon” means loaf

  22. Fiona says:

    But…I eat my scrambled eggs with jelly >.>

  23. alex says:

    it translates to Disordered eggs with ham

  24. Becky says:

    I do not like green eggs and jam! I do not like them Sam I Am!

  25. Brandon says:

    It translate to ham not jam.

  26. Joann Fabrics Coupons says:

    Who eats this? I would not eat it even if it’s free.

  27. I forgot to ask..this must be in a foreign country?

  28. Thalia says:

    Maybe it’s a typo, rather than engrish. H and J are right next to each other on a keyboard.
