The French sentence 'La tortue manges des pâtes'  .... The turtle (or maybe tortoise) is eating some pasta? or maybe pastries? What is eating What?

 

La Tortue Manges Des Pâtes
 - Turtle Eating Pasta?

By locking their language in to unresponsive straight jacket, the French end up with the ridiculous situation that as 'Pasta' is not a French word, they won't officially use the word 'Pasta', but instead have to use a 'French' equivalent which was 'Pâtes', but which can also mean pastry / pastries. So they end up with ambiguous statements like above.
