Thanks! Two peoples, separated by a common language....

We do things differently here, too. I remember many years ago, I was on AOL and I was IMing a cute chick who lived about 50 km from London. One nice Sunday afternoon, like today for example, she asked me what I was up to. I replied, "Oh, I'm just vacuuming the walls." There was a long, long pause, then she wrote "You Yanks sure do strange things sometimes."

I told her I live in the desert, and for some strange reason they thought textured walls are all the bomb. Well, the dust from the desert collects on the walls' texture, so they need to be vacuumed once in a while. Don't get me started on the popcorn ceiling....
