The maternal was telling me one of her students this year is Lithuanian, and having kind of a hard time from the other students because of her accent and the fact that her English isn't always quite right. I said that was fuckin' rich coming from a bunch I know have trouble enough mastering English as a first language, let alone a second.
I also added that she should teach them 'basic' Lithuanian without telling them what it actually means. Like 'Hi, my name is __, I would like to proposition your donkey.' But the maternal seemed to think she was too nice and middle-class for that sort of thing.
I always thought the nice middle classes were the perfect sort for quiet, passive-agressive revenge, but perhaps that's just me.

Reminds me of Johnny Depp in an interview - He likes to learn nonsense phrases and greet reports from that language with them while smiling and shaking their hands as if it's "Hello, how are you?" instead "Me and my hovercraft full of eels" or other nonsense.

Also talking about how he mastered French. Once while still working on it he chased away some reporters from his house and kids in France where he shouted after them. I don't remember what he meant to say but apparently it cracked up his wife because he was threatening to bite or eat the reporters... which wasn't his intent but said it would do and explain their looks at the crazy American father.

Oh, absolutely, if you have the benefit of a second language, massacre it to best effect as often as possible.

Exactly apparently one of his favorite greetings in a language he doesn't know is "My left testicle itches."

Which I'm sure gets a grin... and maybe a hand.

**sigh** Got to know how to hire a valet - Johnny needs one to be reintroduced to society per Syd's insistance for good business...

If he has a man of business, charge him to hire a suitable valet, otherwise it's off to an agency.

Well there's Rocco... he could do it but he's more the one to percure the stuff for the lab.

Or since Syd says he needs one for the society intro - she could make Toiter find a suitable few candidates. He'd love having to do that.

Oh yeah, I bet Toiter would looooove that... XD

The very idea makes my nipples explode with delight!

I do not want this record, it is scratched.

I have a French phrase book I bought in Dover that has the most amazing variety of odd phrases in it. My favorite is "I'm here for the morning after pill." Ooh la la!
