Overheard on the Labor & Delivery Unit, 4/17/06 Overnight Tour
Patient’s Boyfriend With Limited English Skills: Where comes from things my wife need to go to bathroom?
Nurse’s Aide: (taking a “logic leap” and bring the man a pack of Kotex, this being a labor and delivery floor, and all) Here you go…they’re called “pads”.
PBWLES: (looking confused) No. (pointing to his feet) Socks!
Moral of the story: Sometimes “going to the bathroom” literally means “walking to the bathroom”.

Tee-hee! I bet we could swap some stories, girl. Poor foreigners. They spend a lifetime learning proper English and then (when they come to Atlanta, at least) they learn they have no idea what anyone’s saying. I once had a woman in traditional Indian dress ask me what “Shake that Laffy Taffy” meant. God I love the South. =)
