			IJMC - Language Barriers

usually it is not quite as pronounced as below.                 -dave



A bus stops and two Italian looking men get on. They seat themselves, and 
engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting
behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is 
drawn when she hears the following:

"Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, they come together. I come 
again. Two asses, they come together again. I pee
twice. Then I come once more."

"You foul-mouthed wop swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this 
country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"

"Hey, cool down lady," said the man. "I wassa only tellin' my friend here 
how to spella Mississippi."
