My First Spanish Joke

I have learned that much of what we say in English doesn't translate into Spanish. To prove this statement is a "Dictionary of American Idioms" that Brian has been using to teach some of the teachers at SALI. And Wes had to explain to Lenin what it meant for him to be 'itching' to help me. But yesterday I heard a funny in Spanish that doesn't translate into English.

The Spanish word for slow is lento. Like most of us, Peruvians have a love-hate relationship with their computers. So instead of referring to their computers as "Pentium III" or "Pentium IV," they jokingly call them "Lentium Tres" or "Lentium Cuatro." I was quite amused. And thought I'd pass along the joke.
