I have drawn my share of chuckles. My favorite language humor came from a young Brazilian co-worker. When he visited our US office, I took him out to dinner. His English was pretty good, but he made me laugh when he very seriously ("No, no, let me do it.") ordered his drink from the bartender: "I'd like scotch on stones, please."PattiKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894925987580502697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356093701102910263.post-36925620835731294862011-08-29T22:28:11.194+02:002011-08-29T22:28:11.194+02:00This post made me smile!
