Communicating
#1.
You know how, sometimes, at a busy gathering, when you're telling a story to a group of people, a few of them become distracted, and you lose their attention? So you try to concentrate a little harder on the ones who are still listening? You know that feeling? And then, because it's a lively get-together, a few more of them drift away? And as your audience slowly peels off one by one, pretty soon you find yourself addressing any person who's willing to look at you? Even the busboy? And then you realize the busboy doesn't understand English?
Isn't that awful?

Sometimes, a person who is some distance away from you will say something you don't quite understand, so you ask them to repeat it, and you still can't make out what they�re saying. So you ask them two or three more times to repeat it, and by that time you're getting embarrassed, so you pretend to understand and say, "Yeah!" You know, just to be done with it. Then later, it turns out what they said was, "We're coming over tonight to remove your wife's ovaries. Will that be all right?"
HAHA....
I've done the second one before... Goes a bit like this...
"T... ...ped... ...it"
"What's that?"
"Th... ...pped... ...it"
"Pardon?"
"Tha... ...pped... ...it"
"Sorry, I can't hear you..."
"THAT B... ..PPED... ...IT"
"Yeah..."
(Wait, are they smiling? Are they laughing? Yes! They are laughing!!! Better laugh as well...)
"Ha ha ha!!"
