Reminds me of a time at work where I had to translate between two people speaking English. One was a heavily accented Scot and the other a heavily accented Chinese. They could not understand each other, but I could ... so I translated between the two, since my accent is pretty neutral.

My wife and I regularly have to turn on the captioning feature when watching any show we get through Brit TV. If captioning is not available, it takes both of us to try to figure out what is being said.

Um...I meant hell, not deuce.

On the tender in Scotland, i angered two supply chiefs at the same time. Both started yelling at me.
One was from Macon, Georgia.
The other was from the Phillipines.
I knew i was right, so i did not react with fear to either, so both of them assumed the other guy was shouting in my defense. They rounded on each other, having an agreement at the top of their lungs, almost coming to fisticuffs. I walked away and finished the job they thought i had messed up.

I hope you don't think I was being critical of you. I was actually trying to sound like a typical American simpleton. You know, the kind of person bilby is always talking about. You know, like me for example.

Let's not jump to supernatural conclusions about what actually happened. I mean the most likely occurrence was that the other team lost....after that the story becomes legend.

Met my wife today.
Weekly shopping. Had to get body soap for the upstairs shower.
A woman was going thru all the men soaps. Old Spice, Axe, stuff on those shelves. I waited a bit, but she didn't look anywhere near a decision, so i reached over her head and grabbed my brand.
She saw, looked at it, asked, 'Why do you use that brand? What does it smell like?'
'I dunno,' i admitted. 'But the bottle feels like something i'd carry in my pack for an expedition.'
She stared at me. 'Did i marry you?'
'Um... You're not tall enough.'
She laughed, she took one of my brand, we separated
