Yes, It’s Because Of My Tonsils

Today I met this friend of a friend who was totally surprised when I said I was from [place]. “You don’t have the [place] accent”, he said gesturing at his throat.

I wanted to tell him “Yes, you’re right. I had throat surgery to have my accent removed.” Instead I did the Apu accent and asked if that was preferable expecting him to laugh at it but the guy didn’t quite get it. I suspect he knew people who actually spoke like that! :O

    Who was this guy?



  2. Marc says:

    Today he complained to me that a mutual friend was not forwarding an email with ‘pictures of hot russian girls’ to him. At work.



  3. George says:

    Oh god, I have the counterpart of this chap. He keeps sending me pictures of naked women. I have nothing against women being naked, honestly, but in my inbox?! WHY?!

    I filter everything from him into Trash now. I hope he never says anything interesting.

    It’s a different matter spamming my personal email account but sending these tired old forwards from the 90s to my work account just annoys me.

    There is this guy who sent me a chain email saying “The last moments on the doomed Air France flight from Brazil”. It had images of people using oxygen masks, hull opened in the background, people flying out. The captures were from a episode of Lost. I pointed it to the guy but he refused to believe me.



  6. Marc says:

    Yeah that’s a popular hoax. Another one was a toll free number in France that played a recorded message which was advertised in the forward as Hitler’s last words. Serious WTF.
