My Witticism of the Day:

So I find out that one of our sales personnel is moving to Oregon soon. "I suppose that would make you an Oregon transplant, then", sez I. Well, she thought it was funny.

I'm sure it's been said before. :roll:

I'd have probably thrown something at you.

I'll add this little tidbit here (stuck it in a hurricane thread somewhere too):
My boss was browsing through the "safe" and "searching for" lists on MSNBC and found this message:

FROM: Johnson, Billy Bo Buck Dean, Cletusville, MS
MESSAGE: Daisy Mabel, I'm safe! (the ethmay is in the oveboxglay

I must admit, Susan, the first time that I read that on the other thread, I didn't get it, and I read it several times. I had forgotten all about pig latin. Now I can have a good laugh.

When we were on a school biology field-trip when I was 16, we were in the minibus one day using exactly this kind of talk to plot with each other an illicit trip to the pub that evening. We were completely horrified when the teacher, who was driving the minibus, turned round and started to talk to us fluently in exactly the same language!

I have found that there are a (surprisingly) large number of people in Kentucky who speak German, some natively.
