I'm sure i've told this story to many people and, I'm gonna tell it again because I came upon a website that I think is hilarious.
I was making my way to Texas from California one year and I see this big 'ol, fat man with a cowboy hat and boots on coming down the aisle of the airplane. I thought, "Oh crap, I hope he doesn't sit next to me, cause if I have to pee, I'm screwed...I'm sitting near the window!)
Sure enough, the man plops his briefcase on the seat next to me, takes off his coat, puts his carry-on in the compartment above, gets settled and sits down. I try to make very little eye contact...I hate small talk...but I can tell he's looking me over and he says in a loud, booming SLOOOOWWW southern drawl, "Howdy little lady. Do-You-Speak-English?"
I thought of two things after this incident:
1) We Asians all look alike to Caucasians and
2) Isn't it funny that when FOB's say the word "English" they say, "Engrish"?
Check out www.engrish.com It's a super funny website dedicated to English mistakes on foreign advertising and product design.

I’ve learned new things out of your blog post. One other thing I have observed is that in many instances, FSBO sellers will reject people. Remember, they might prefer not to use your companies. But if anyone maintain a reliable, professional connection, offering help and being in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win a conversation. From there, a listing follows. Thanks a lot Hablar ingles
An impressive share, I simply given this onto a colleague who was simply doing small analysis with this. And the man in reality bought me breakfast because I discovered it for him.. smile. So permit me to reword that: Thnx with the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending plenty of time to go over this, I am strongly concerning this and love reading much more about this topic. If at all possible, as you become expertise, do you mind updating your website with an increase of details? It really is extremely helpful for me. Huge thumb up because of this post! english grammar quiz
