Overheard: Delicious-Sounding Tea Edition

On Saturday, I ate lunch at one of my favorite local Lebanese restaurants. My waitress was a lovely, young Korean woman who was adjusting to being leered at by her male coworkers. This was the opening coversation:

“This is day of training, number of two. I am not used to the system of computer here. Do not worry, though. I have computered at another restaurant before. I hope your tea is as delicious as it sounds.”

    A Korean waitress in a Lebanese restraurant? Didn’t that tip you off, Dave, that all might not be right in this particular Universe. I hope that she was truly beautiful and that the soup was worth the cosmic upheaval you caused.
    I love Fran.

    This Page is about Pet Diarrhea and Constipation for Cats and Dogs.
    It is a tough problem with a cat
    or a dog.
    This page is a compendium of articles written about cat and dog feces and defecating problems. :wtf: http://www.nelsonideas.com/pet-diarrhea/dog-cat.html

    I had never thought of the word “tea” as sounding delicious………….you know, like “ambrosia” sounds delicious, but tea?

    I just hope the tea was fragrant.

    This is regular foreigner speak, so what’s the problem? It might even sound a smidge sexy. :thong: She speaks a lot gooder engrish than some Americans I know.

    Not really poking fun at her. I thought it was kinda cute, actually.

     
  15. Duke, 21, March 2006, 10:19 |  

    So what did the tea sound like

     
  16. Other April, 21, March 2006, 10:38 |  

    I like how everyone’s going to pretend they’ve never computered before.

     
  17. Ron, 21, March 2006, 11:55 |  

    Did she write the menu from yesterday? :lol:

  19. Master Solace, 21, March 2006, 14:27 |  

    So what was she smoking to start hearing things from your tea…to wonder if it is delicious as it sounds

     
  20. Master Solace, 21, March 2006, 14:27 |

    I’ll admit I have a ‘thing’ for oriental women so this is similar to a favorite dream of mine. Well, except it doesn’t have anything to do with a restaurant. Or computers. Or tea.
    But it does include a lovely, young Korean woman with a cute ass so it’s kind of similar…right? :mrgreen:

  34. Darrell, 21, March 2006, 20:03 |  

    You should share the location of this restaurant. I’ve heard so many guys talking about how they would like to eat Lebanese.

    Here is a koan for you.

    The world is vast and wide. Why do you put on your robes at the sound of a bell?

    Tea can sound good if you slurp it loudly. In some cultures, slurpping your tea is a way to show you enjoy it, and that it is delicious.

    Now my Teaching Engrish Story in Thailand.

    Teacher: Do you smoke?

    Student in Thailand: Yes, I do.

    T: What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?

    S: I don’t smoke cigarettes.

    T: So, you don’t smoke.

    S: Yes, I do, but I don’t smoke cigarettes.

    :wtf:Can anyone tell me what she smokes? :wtf: Answer will come later :wtf:

    Bible names :wtf: Someone had way too much time on his hands or couldn’t think of something better to do like regrouting (sp?) the tiles on his bathroom floor.

    Who chants the Buhhda’s name?

    For the Engrish story………..She was smoking cannibas……and yes, someone had WAY TOO much time on their hands……….and who know WHO chants the Budha’s name. I have been home from work too long and had too many drinks to care who the hell does!!

    Does she smoke a pipe or bong perhaps? Is she on fire?

     
  41. Marcus, 22, March 2006, 5:05 |

  44. Master Solace, 23, March 2006, 22:06 |  

    She’s smoking meat… :wang:! Mwah ha ha haa!

     
  45. Paige, 23, March 2006, 22:32 |  

    Confuscious say- Never go into a Lebanese restaurant that has a Korean waitress.How would you order? Do you think that she would understand you?Do you think that she has been smoking Thai stick?Or maybe she has drank too many Suffering Bastards??? :oops:
