When John F. Kennedy asked dutch Prime minster Joseph Luns about his hobbies, the latter answered: "I Fuck horses". Kennedy hoped he had misheard, and responded: "Pardon?".

"That's right! Horses", Luns exclaimed cheerfully.

A true story! Obviously, the nuances of the Dutch language are easily lost in translation. In this case, mistranslating the word "breed", caused slighty more than an awkward moment.

De Amerikaanse president John F. Kennedy vroeg Joseph Luns in een informeel gesprek naar zijn hobby’s, waarop de laatste enthousiast antwoordde: "I fok horses!" Kennedy dacht (of hoopte) dat hij Luns niet goed verstaan had en vroeg: "Pardon?"

"Inderdaad ja! Paarden", riep Luns enthousiast.
