We had friends from the UK and he told me about a time he went to a bank in Florida. The teller was having a hard time understanding him and in exasperation said, “Sir, do you speak English?” To which he replied, “Young lady, we invented English!” True story! LOL

When ever there is a British movie I put on the English subtitles.
Sorry, but it exhausting trying to understand them.

LOL! Good one!
I was living in San Diego in an Apt with a “No Soliciting” sign on the front door from a previous tenant. So when I got a knock at the door I was a bit perplexed to find someone giving me some spiel. I guess my dumbfounded look got the better of him because he asked me “Do you speak English?”
To which I replied, pointing at the sign, “Do you read English?” and shut the door on him. :)
