When in Italy, I found that some signs are displayed in a number of languages. Here are a few examples, translated into English.
On a hotel door:
Italian: In case of fire, do not shout, "Fire."
English: In case of fire, do not shout, "Fire."
French: In case of fire, do not shout.
In a train:
Italian: Only pull lever in case of emergency.
English: Only pull lever in case of emergency.
French: Do not pull lever unless there is an emergency.

A: Everyone's talking about this new show about an urban police station! Do you want to watch it?

B: Let me tell you a joke. What happened when the confidence trickster swindled a chef, a wildcat, and a philosopher? They fell for it cook, lion, and thinker.
A: What's going on here? WHAT ARE YOU DOING, B?
B: I'm telling a joke.
A: No! You can't talk first! That's not how it works! I always talk first. A says something, then B replies. You can't change that!
B: It's a new world, A.
A: No! It's against the laws of anonymous dialogue transcription convention!
B: Really? Am I to be punished for this?
A: Yes! Take this statement of indictment and pay the fee printed at the bottom.
B: Okay.
A: And let that be a lesson to you.
B: You know, I think that the way in which you exacted money for me as a penalty for my infringement was acceptable.
A: Where are you heading with this?
B: I mean, what you did was fine.
A: I wonder.
B: What do you wonder?
A: I wonder, is suicide against the laws of anonymous dialogue transcription convention?

Do psychics hold the reverse of "too soon" for jokes about a tragic event? I mean, in the time leading up to a disaster, do they eschew jokes about it, rebuking those who do crack jokes about it on the basis that the event is "too soon"?

Before becoming a successful conqueror, Julius Caesar was a somewhat spineless diplomat. He used to visit countries, only to agree with them. His original catchphrase was: "I came, I saw, I concurred."

It was a bad break-up; his last, in fact. He would spend the rest of his life finding Freudian metaphors in children's television.

A: Oh no! No! No, this can't be happening!
B: What's wrong?
A: My whole family! They're dead!
B: How?
A: The pilot of their aeroplane made a small mistake, and now they're all gone. GONE!
B: Aeroplane? More like error-plane.

I have developed a simple code, which merely involves appending the letter 't' to the start of every word. For example, rick roll would become trick troll.
