I went to the bank today and heard two women, a teller and a customer, trying to understand each other.  The teller had a German accent.  The customer had an Indian (of India) accent.  To make things even funnier, this was happening not at the "International Bank" but at the "Bank of America".  I feel bad for people who have to learn English.  I'm glad I already know it.  When you try to explain American jokes to a foreigner, they don't understand.  I worked with an Army guy who used to joke around by saying, "Oh you're an engineer?  Choo choo!"  But when I tried to explain it to a Filipino woman, it got lost in translation.  This same Filipino woman calls me on the phone and says, "Hey Dave, how are you?"  Me:  "I'm good, how 'bout you?"  Her:  "Not much."  And it's not like it's a one-time thing.  It's every time.  I used to work with a guy from Guyana.  I used to say, "Hey Larry, what's up?"  Larry:  "Alright."  Every time.  Poor foreign people. #language
