I love this kind of stuff. There are some real stunners in here (forgive the ads). My particular favorite: "President Jimmy Carter met with Polish military leaders in 1977 and embarrassed himself thanks to his interpreter. His interpreter accidentally claimed that the president wanted to leave the US forever, grab their genitals, and ended by speaking Russian."

I've read slide show photo sites like this one make money on folks like us clicking on each photo.
The more clicks, the more money.
