Christy sent this to me at work back in 2010. I think of it often... and have to bite my tongue from using it. At least now I can use it with my family. ^_^
In order to continue getting-by in America, 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.
The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and call 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 sunteen???"
Guest: "Uh..... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs.."
Room Service: "Ow July den?"

Christy must have gotten this from the Food & Beverage Dept. employees at Omni International Hotel where I used to work downtown at Waterside. I remember many a disturbing/perplexing conversation like this one when I'd have to engage one of those fellows...and that was before you were born! HA!
