I had tuned into a show about Italy, hosted by a very refined and 
charming Italian gentleman. Among other sights, he visited Sicily and 
had decided to climb Mount Etna with a guide. As both were Italian, 
the conversation was in their mother tongue, with English sub-titles.
As they approached and looked into the crater of Mt. Etna, the sub-
titles went like this:

Guide: "Careful as we walk up to the rim. There are cracks and the 
whole thing could give way."
Host: "How deep is the crater?"
Guide: "About 300 metres."
Host: "So, if you fell in, you'd be f*cked."
Guide: "Yes, that's right".

All of this was said with complete seriousness. I laughed so hard I 
couldn't breathe.
