I got the most badass mousepad I’ve ever seen in Germany. It was a cartoon of someone trying to sell an abacus to the king with a mouse (an actual one) with its tail nailed to it, and his advisor suggesting he wait, as in (some number of months – I got it in 1995, so details are a bit hazy) it will cost half the price.

I only remember some of this verbatim, but it was absolute gold because of double meanings.

Ihr solltet noch warten … inclusive Maus … auf Festplatte

The mouse is easy enough to jump language comprehension (though “inclusive” is pronounced differently), but Festplatte means both a wooden board, as the base of the abacus was, and hard drive.
