It is the Facebook page which is spreading very quickly in Croatia, with almost 8,000 fans in two weeks, but is Croatian Handjobs a clumsy translation of the celebration of Croatia's considerable wealth of hand-made products, or is it someone who is clearly taking the p***?

This remember is the country where Google Translate can get you in serious trouble... and straight into hospital. Kozica or Kozice? The choice is yours, but one translates as prawns, the other as small pox. Hardly enticing for people waiting in the queue (courtesy of Viewfromtheriva).

And so to this new site, Croatian Handjobs. I don't think there is any need to explain the meaning of the word handjob here, and I suspect that is also true for the site administrators, who have put together a hilarious selection of posts highlighting the very best of Croatia's hand-made products, with the (one suspects) deliberate mis-translation of 'hand-made' for 'handjob' adding considerable humour. Any doubt should be allayed in the post about glass below.

Still, a very funny site, and if you are looking for handjob, come to Croatia and discover the very best of the country's handjobs on Facebook.
