Have you ever heard a German say grits? I ordered grits one time at a restaurant in N.C. and the waitress was from Germany. She rolled that "gr" on the back of her tongue for about 2 minutes! Hillarious!!!

"gggrrrrrrits"

German "spittin' 'grrrrrrits'" on ya? Ach du lieber! *G* I have heard a French dude say "grrrrits," but only cuz I "axed" him to! I was in France, chaperoning high school students with "ma pere," on one of many high school trips of my Daddio's! *VBG* "Moi? Une chaperone des l'etudients?" Believe it or not! Many times! Dad is a French teacher, but varies the trips -- always France and England, but the others vary each trip. The German Black Forest was amazing. So, too, the Alps! Switzerland was beautiful! (And the chocolates are to die for!) Dad was afraid I'd corrupt the kids, but I already had my wild fling in Europe all by myself when I was 21! "Hey bartender [in pub]! Ice please? No, not ice CHIPS! ICE! I'm -- American?!" Bartender: "Oooooooh!" [dumps tons of ice in my drink -- LOL!] ;-}

Since I couldn't be wild while chaperoning, I just "messed" with the dudes wherever we went! (Okay, yes, I was flirting!! Really put on the Southern accent; they liked it! LOL! So sue me!! [ONLY flirting, thank you!! I was there helping my DAD out, for heaven's sakes!] *VBG*)

How'd ya like THAT sentence structure, eh?? Major headache for English teachers everywhere!! ;-}

Time for show?????
