That reminds me of when I worked as an office boy in an architectural firm in Detroit. One of the new architects, an Australian, asked me to go to the store a pick up a box of rubbers for him.

A young American man enroles at Magdalen College, Oxford, and on his first afternoon, as he innocently explores the university, he stops a lecturer and asks "Where's the library at?" The lecturer gives him a withering look, and pronounces "Young man, here at Magdalen one does not end one's sentences with prepositions." The American ponders this briefly, then brightly replies "Okay, where's the library at, asshole?"
