English is not the same everywhere Soon after I arrived in San Diego, one of my housemates one day said she was going to the stores, did I want anything. So I told her we were out of loo rolls, could she get some. She said ok and left the room. After a while, I heard a burst of laughter and another housemate called out. "Hey, Chet, S wants to know what are loo rolls." Apparently, she'd had gone up to say to L, "Chet wanted some loo rolls. What are they? Some kind of sushi?" * - * - * - * - * The Art of Insulting People My sister's assistant is expecting. She only got married last year and I knew about it. Yet, when we spoke on the phone recently and I asked when she was due, I also asked, "your first one?" After which, I went and banged my head on the wall. |
