Gerber's logo is of a baby.... they were wondering why they weren't selling much baby food). <br /><br />Or, perhaps the cake was for "Peter and Phil"? Depending upon which country it was ("Asia" could be anything from Turkey to Fiji), the accent of the speaker and familiarity with a bit of English could explain this. <br /><br />Those scenarios are funny... and leave me feeling sorry for the undoubtedly fired employees involved. <br /><br />The other explanation I can think of -- that it was in a sex tourism district -- is just too depressing. Unless the cake's filled with glass shards, barbed wire and painful, slow-acting, irreversible and fatal poison??? That idea makes me smile :)Alizanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-59493005036381831062010-08-07T20:52:28.469-04:002010-08-07T20:52:28.469-04:00The translation error for "someone who loves ...The translation error for "someone who loves children" seems like the most likely explanation.

There was enough Latin floating around in our house that I knew "ped" meant foot - pedals on bikes, etc. - and I simply couldn't understand how so many of my friends had bad feet and needed to visit pediatricians.
