	Not quite accurate.  Ok,

Mr. DiC
look a leak
on a slice of bread.

A man came by
and said "Oh my!"
Finally he was fed.

Later, though,
what do you know?
He made DiC a plea:

"While it's a steal,
this thing ain't real.
It souldn't have the pee."

****

"Just be happy," said Mr. DiC, "That's beter than none."
"You fool," he spat, "don't leave it at that.  They need to be better
done."

"You have no right to raise a fuss.  Ignorance is bliss."
"You may be right, but I'll still fight.  My bread's covered in piss!"

	The moral:  How the hell should I know?  I just made this
crap up!  Anyway, the pee-pee sandwich is by no means as good as the
original sandwich.  BUT, what if the dude was going to drop dead of
starvation in one minute?  Sure was better than nothing.

	Come to think of it, that's a terrible example.  What does
a urine-soaked food item have to do with a mistranslated anime?
Face the facts.  The bad job IS better than nothing.  Maybe not
for you (pointing in general), but most of us, as stated previously,
would have NEVER HEARD OF SAILOR MOON without it.
