I am reminded of this hilarious old video on how to use India style toilet. The way he talks, alternating between Tamil and English, wears a white shirt with tie, his comments "lock the door.. many forget..", "wash the hands.. very very important.." and he actually shows how to use the mug & water.. all done nicely and a family friendly video.
Hahaha hilarious When I was in UK, we had a software product release and were discussing our rights and liabilities with a lawyer - and one British guy asked "What is ostensibly" - I automatically responded before the lawyer said anything - "apparently/ looks like true but may not be true" That guy looks at me and says "Were you a princess in India? You're so well educated!" Another time, one of the admin girls (BA in English Literature) asked me where I went during the weekend - I was famous for backpacking from friday nights till monday mornings - so I said I visited "Stratford upon Avon" - she asked why??? - I said "Shakespeare's birthplace" and she says "Oh I didnt know that!!" But once someone did ask me "Do you have tigers on your streets?" I said "No, but I do have a couple of tigers as pets in my backyard, please come and meet them" Keep smiling! HR
