Some Funny Stuff

Before I start, a warning! This might be offensive to some. How can you tell if this might offend you? Well, if you consider today Sunday, you should be alright. If you consider today the Sabbeth, stop reading this post now.

Couple of funny happenings in the past couple of days.

1. When I got to the el-cheapo hotel I am staying at for the weekend, I checked in and there was a young fellow at the counter taking all the particulars. I commented on how good his English was and asked where he learned it. He said mostly from MTV. I couldn't help myself and fell directly into the best J-Rock impersonation I could muster. I said "No shit, mother f&cker. You know what I'm saying? That is so cool dawg". I thought the guy was going to soil himself he was laughing so hard. He wasn't expecting that for an old grunt like me. Everyone in the lobby turned around and laughed at his uncontrolable outburst. Whenever I come in to the building now, the staff say "Good Evening Mr. Dawg" and give me a great smile! (JRock is a character in a cult tv series in Canada called Trailer Park Boys.
2. I just sat down at an outside table infront of a small café and along came 4 big, rough looking guys who had obviously been drinking pretty heavily. They must have been from one of the ships or something. Anyway, their voices were getting louder and louder and there was a lot of elbowing and nudging and horsing around. I am guessing from their accents that were Russian. Finally, the four of them got up and went across the street kinda giggling and shoving each other forward. The walked into the front door of this run down Indian restaraunt and about 30 seconds later they all walked out, shoulders stooped, disappointment written all over their faces and cussing up a storm. Then it clicked. The restaurant was called the Lahore Palace. They thought it was a brothel!

More later.
