¿juego de palabras sin sentido, pero que riman?
Al leer la frase, en seguida pensé en aquella famosa frase de "My Fair Lady"/"Pygmalion", que el profesor hacía que Eliza Doolittle repitiera hasta el cansancio para eliminar su acento "cockney":
The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain.
Es una frase sin sentido, lo que importa es la rima.

Gracias, Elena. No le encuentro sentido a la frase a no ser que sea un juego de palabras con rima.

: Una cosa es "brain drain" (nótese el orden de las palabras) que es, efectivamente, "fuga de cerebros" (aunque esa traducción es horrenda), y otra cosa es lo que preguntó Ana. No es lo mismo.

The prisoner has escaped. Where do you board the bus for Miami? There were telephone points every kilometer so that drivers whose cars had broken down would be able to summon help. Tom has had a bad car crash. All change now! He'd send him to White Front Garage for a left-handed monkey wrench.
