You've reminded me of a language barrier incident I had at Rome Termini railway station. We walked to our coach along the lengthy platform only to find our coach door locked. Other passengers gathered. I decided to try opening the door when along came the Italian guard......, he said something in Italian but he had a non angry face and he smiled...., I said, "aye no problem buddy, cheers." We all got on to the train when this French bloke said to me in English, "You let him speak to you like that?"......., I told him I don't speak Italian, and asked what he'd said......., he told me the guard said, "why are you being a dickhead trying to open my locked doors, can't you see it's locked imbecile?" I was absolutely enraged, I wanted to get off the train and kick his fucking head in but the wife stopped me. She called me a dickhead and told me to sit down. French bloke found that one funny. Tit.

That reminds me a of a time I was in a spinning class at Ramstein AFB - they had a bunch of bikes in a racquetball court so the acoustics were horrible and the instructor was Irish with a very thick accent - didn't understand a word she said, so I figured I'd just follow the lead of the girl in front of me. Apparently he had the girls doing something different than the guys, he didn't like the fact I was following his instructions.

I genuinely do not know what a spinning class is? What is that weaving wool or something?"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Sure would like to be a fly on the wall in Dario Franchitti's garage. He was running for the Indy 500 pole and had the speed to take it when he RAN OUT OF GAS on his 4th lap!!
They had over 2 hours to put 6 gallons of fuel in the car and someone messed up.Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."

As we pulled into the parking lot I couldn't help but smile at the huge outdoor sign in front of the shop. It read...."The Grateful Head."Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."
