Frank blogs this funny meme.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

Well, my case is quite unique, since I'm trying to translate parts of the manual for the new dishwasher. but here goes:
"Turbo drogen" (means Turbo dry)
Source: AEG Favorit 64810 Afwasautomaat. Gebruiksanwijzing.

The page consists of a table of the program description, so since it is written in short statements, the above must be the 5th. The four first statements are: "Warm voorspoelen. 70 degree Celius afwassen. 2 x koud spoelen. 1 x warm spoelen". I'm suddenly happy that i got the Turbo Dry instead!

It is also interesting to read this discussion about the origin of the meme. Especially when you tried to backtrack it yourself :)
