If you want to empty crowded a pub in Scotland, open the door and shout, "JOCK IT'S YOUR TURN TO BUY THE BEERS." Then stand back out of the way, otherwise you will be killed in the rush as they fight to get out.

Are you sure he was sober? Another explanation might be; he had grown up around drunks so he sounded like one. These stereotypes are funny, I will try to do that if I am in Scotland, however, the ability to use other languages increase when you consume alcohol, I am even able to speak German when I am drunk, or at least I believe so anyway, really drunk; then French will work as well.
This was a bit off topic, but what annoys me is; when people are telling me something but it takes them forever to reach their point.

One thing that I witnessed today that utterly without fail saps all my confidience left in humanity is this.

When you walk up to the grocery store and see a childeren's charaity organization taking donations, reach in your pocket and muster a few ones for the cause on a beautiful warm summer afternoon, birds chirping, childeren laughing, all is right in the world.

And then a idiot with huge woofers in his trunk rolls slowly by blarring music along the lines of.

Is that what's known as "butt dialing", Sarah?

My butt was nowhere near the phone.

"purse" dialing is more like it.

Oh gosh. I think Lunatik is right with you there.

I can't help it, I am the same way.

Us women want to get to the point, but we want to share the story of getting to the point first.

We don't mean to drive you crazy.

Of course you don't mean to drive us crazy, driving blokes crazy is in a womans gene's, it just comes naturally.
