Lost in translation.

Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at an Irish border

checkpoint. Paddy the officer stops them and tells them: "It is illegal to put 5 people in a Quattro, Quattro means four".

"Quattro is just the name of the automobile," the Englishmen retorts disbelievingly. "Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons."

"You can not pull that one on me," replies Paddy "Quattro means four".

You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law.

" The Englishmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your supervisor over

I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"

"Sorry," responds Paddy, "Murphy is busy with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno."
