This was told to me by a girl at school. Exhall Grange in Coventry, in the 50s.  It needs to be read out loud.

Not as clever as the previous ones, but the best piece of advice I ever had was what my math teacher, Mr Machin, wrote in my leaving book:-

"Pas d'elle yeux Rhone que nous".

After trying to translate the French I read it aloud, and got the message.

Like that one jay dig, you really do have to say it out loud. Thanks for making me smile after a hard day.

...and the instructions to French matelots that sailing time is approaching so they should head for the water:

"A l'eau, c'est l'heure!"

This was a favourite some years ago...

Si senor, der dego,
Forte loris inaro:
Daarno loris, daar trux,
Fulo cowsan ensan dux.

translated...

"Si signor, der dey go,
Forty lorries in a row:
Dey'r no lorries, dey are trucks,
Full o' cows an' 'ens an' ducks".
