Okay, here's a funny story of what happened recently at work between French Lady and Blonde Lady. I will try to create a French accent phonetically.
BL: Do you have southerners in France?
FL: Yes, we hov ze same dee-rect-shawns that you hov.
BL: No, what I mean is do you have, you know, country people?
FL: Of course.
BL: What do you call them?
FL: We call zem pee-zonz.
BL: You call them piss ants?
FL: No, not piss ants! Pee-zonz! Pee-zonz!
BL: Oh you, mean peasants!
Man, nothing's funnier than a foreigner and a southerner trying to understand each other. The southerner gets mad because the other can't speak perfect English. And southerners make it worse because they don't realize that they can't speak it either. Ain't life funny.
There is also the time that French Lady complained that there was no poop (pulp) in her orange juice. Her boyfriend said, "Isn't that a good thing?"
