Neil says "island" instead of "Ireland". Do you do that or is his accent just that f*cked up?

Its safe to say that I do not do that.

LOL, it's actually pene. Which sounds an awful lot like penne. Causes much embarrassment for Americans ordering pasta in Italy.

I can only imagine...

Like people with heavy irish accents who ask for "#######" instead of "coke"

A friend of mine ordered a chocolate ####### once (instead of mousse). Another asked if there were condoms in her entree (instead of preservatives).

That's got to be tough on the waiter - suppressing the urge to burst into laughter.

We went to a restaurant on vacation the other week - and there was this ridiculous woman with (obviously fake) J-cup breasts. People all over the place were staring. I pitied the guy who had to serve that table...

I can just about - just about understand why some people go for a breast enlargement but really only if they pick a perky set of boobs. Picking some that are that huge just doesn't make any sense, how can they possibly be attracive out of the 'box' as it were?

Well we were on a cruise ship - and as it turned out some very eccentric people go on those types of holidays. One one day we were seated at a lunch table with two female bodybuilders and overheard a conversation between them that along the lines that they were basically a pair of high priced prostitutes who some guy had paid to accompany him on the trip (body building hookers is a new one on me).

The woman with huge breasts looked like some sort of has-been porn star. She wasn't that big either - perhaps a size 8 or 10, but the breasts were so large that in loose clothing it looked like she was pregnant, and during the formal dinners she wore these god-awful dresses that they were literally spilling out. She was there with her "fiancee" - a man in his 70's who looked a lot like John McCain. She also appeared to have an entire suitcase full of wigs.

It was weird - but you kind of felt sorry for her. You could see all these people around the restaurant angling to get a picture of her.

That cruise sounds like it provided some seriously awesome people watching.

I don't get the whole espresso thing at all. What's with the tiny cup? And it tastes like #######, #######.

Clearly, you never had a good espresso. Did you try one at Starbucks? That's not good espresso.
