As in the past, when I find an english sentence I sometimes try to translate it in my head for practice.  When I find multiple ways to interpret the sentence it amuses me.  So here's one I saw today in the doctors office (see if you can guess the english from my lojban):

Lojban1: ko na julne lo vacri mu'i lo nu ckape rivbi

Something along the lines of "Do not breath the poisonous gas"?

Lojban2: ko na gasnu lo nu vacri julne mu'i lo nu ckape rivbi

"Do not allow the poisonous gas to escape"?

Hmm, those {na}'s might need to be {na'e}'s
