fun with languages

I was sitting in the cheack out counter in the pharmacy that I worked in during the summer.
The woman walks in, american I will find out later, and picks something up and walks towards me. She pays for the merchandize (I can't say what she bought, since I can't remember). She has this look on her face, it's like she wants to ask me something but isn't sure if she dares to. Then she says it:
"Do you speak english?"
"Yes a tiny little bit" I say in perfect english.
"I saw this advertisement poster a few blocks from here..."
I nod
"What does S...L...U...T mean in Swedish?" she continues
"It means end" I answer, a little worried since I know what it means in english
"The ad said S...L...U...T...R...E...A, so I thought maybe Rea meant girl..."
I laugh a little
"No, no, no! It means "endsale". Like when they want to sell out their remaining merchendize they lower the prices way down"
"Oh! Okay, that makes sense." She says.
We exchange goodbyes and she leaves.
Basicly, she thought us Swedes were advertising slutty women.

some of you swedes might get a laugh out of this

Hell, I got a laugh out of it.

I'd ask you the same thing.

I would've been like "So, how much for the slut, Ria?" :lol:

Sorry, my mistake: it wasn't an ad for anything in the store that I worked in. I think it was an ad from some clothing line.

Yes, we sell cheap women. All at IKEA. Get your furniture needs accomodated and an organic bedwarmer.

Hmmmm... hope the wife doesnt see that post...

Hmmmm... hope the wife doesnt see that post...
Honey, put away the rolling-pin.*BONK!* Ouch...That reminds me of an explanation I gave to my wife when she found out that I went into a place where women dance while taking off their clothes.

Women don't seem to understand why we would want to do that.

I said, look women are the most beautiful thing in all creation. How could we not want to look? How could we in 10 lifetimes get tired of looking at lovely ladies, to see them as much and as often as possible?

I still got punished anyway, but it did create a slight delay...

You shouldve seen my lady when she found out that we have mixed-*** locker rooms at the hospital. Suddenly shes convinced that all nurses employed in my ward are bigbreasted blondes that wear minimal thongs and dedicate all their time to seducing me. Her reaction when I said "nah, not all of them try to seduce me" was absolutely priceless. Yet painful. But fun.
