Communication Problem

[IMA_FARANG]

This is a true story.

Some years ago.... when you could still get bootleg CD's with music in some of the stores in Bangkok.... I was buying some of those 3 for 100 Baht CD's in a store on Sukhumvit.

Cute little Thai girl was running the counter.

This Aussie guy walks in and as the attendant, "Do you have any songs by "Die Wed Bow Way"?

"Do you mean Day Vid Boo Wee", she asks him.

"NO, "he says, "I mean Die Wed Bow Way".

Then he asks her, "Do you know the album "Zeggy Strawdust"?

I heard it all, I happened to be back here by the David Bowie bootleg CD's but I couldn't answer as I was laughing so hard.

And you wonder why Thais think we Farangs are all crazy?

I went to local Honda shop asked them to check volts in my batteri.

In Thailand we check watts no volts.

My batteri had 15.3 watts.

Falang mai loo luäng löi!
