That’s what she said in 27 languages

That's What She Said That’s what she said is clearly hilarious in English but I wonder if it is as funny translated.  I had some extra time to waste and pasted the phrase into Google translator to see what the familiar phrase would look like in 27 other languages.

That’s what she said has become one of the funniest punch lines to typical 14 year old boy humor in this decade fueled by Michael Scott on The Office.  I saw one of my friends on Facebook post the Spanish version as his status update.  So, now I’m taking it a step further.

Below I have listed how the phrase would appear in the written form of other languages but the real funny is to listen to the voice translator on the page itself.  Try it! Here is the link.
