Why it is important to understand English in America
« on: March 10, 2009 - 01:34:24 PM »
I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to exchange, so I went to the currency exchange window at the local bank. Short line.

Just one lady in front of me. . an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and she was a little irritated.

She asked the teller, 'Why it change?? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty! Why it change?'

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, 'Fluctuations'.

The Asian lady says, 'Fluc you white people, too!'
