in portuguese, i just came across “por que o vírus da gripe não tem amigos? porque ele é uma má influenza”
translation: “why does the flu virus have no friends? because it’s a bad influenza!”(Influence)
i think it could work in english but sounds better in portuguese.
– Γιατί πίνει ο ακέφαλος καβαλάρης;
– Για να κάνει κεφάλι.
– Why does the headless horseman drink?
– To make (a) head
“Making head” in Greek would mean getting drunk to the point where you first start feeling dizzy
