It's not irrelevant, it's a hippopotamus.

Eggcellent!

One Spanish fish asked his Spanish fish schoolfriend, "And what does your dad do?"

French dockers rule au quai!

Motto of the French Navy: A l'eau, c,est l'heure.

And a well-loved old poem

Un petit d’un petit
S’etonne aux Halles
Un petit d’un petit
Ah ! degres te fallent
Indolent qui ne sort cesse
Indolent qui ne se mene
Qu’impute un petit d’un petit
Tout gai de Re

Well, don't need to go as far... Spanish also have it, but a bit more subtle...
