Versions of English: Cultural Disparity Changes Meaning? Dear native English speakers and correctors. As you may know, there are many versions of the English language throughout the world today. With it comes differences in the meaning or interpretation of some idiomatic expressions, sayings, and phrases based on culture and geographical location whence the language is practiced. For instance, a fluent English speaker from Singapore may not necessarily understand, "Break a leg" as good luck. Therefore, please elaborate this text below as I wouldn't dare presume the meaning. This was asked to me by an asker. I am not familiar with this nor do I fully understand what it means. "Going to church every Sunday doesn't make you a christian. But standing infront of a garage makes you a car." Does this suppose to mean something?

It's just a joke, I think.

Apparently my friend, the whole English community doesn't seem to know this phrase/sentence. Whatever this is, I don't know what to think of it. Maybe the they go this all wrong. Maybe this is a riddle? What do you think?
