I received an email from my dad this morning and it was one that made me laugh and laugh and laugh. I suppose that is in part because I was reading it out loud in my car on my Black Berry all the while laughing. I can only imagine what people walking by were thinking...heh.
I mean absolutely no disrespect by what I am posting, just proof that good communication is key to many many things.

In order to continue getting-by in America (our home land), we all
need to learn the NEW English language!
Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to
understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS".
With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in.
Now, here goes...
The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel
guest and room-service somewhere in the good old U S A today....
Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees"
Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."
Room Service: " Rye . Roon sirbees .. morrin! Joowish to oddor
