"Ass, sin and engineers", for instance, seems translated from 'officers, seamen and engineers'.
The jokes here are too obvious.

Translate it. I really didn't mess with it.

I'm aware of that.
That doesn't make the jokes less obvious.

Well, there's two instances of the word 'ass'. I don't know why it translated it from 'officer', but it's the only part where I could actually find it in the original (there was only one instance of engineers).
I haven't a clue how it got the 'moisture in the ass' part.

Heh. That makes little, but some, sense. But thanks. Another one of the universe's great mysteries has been solved. ^^

I always knew engineers were incorruptible, Wally (of Dilbert fame) being the exception.  :P
