The New Engrish

In order to continue getting-by in America (our home land), we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS".

With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in.
Now, here goes...

The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and call room-service somewhere in the good old U S A today......

Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees."
Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Room Service: " Rye . Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???"
Guest: "Uh.... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs."

Room Service: "Ow July den?"
Guest: ".....What??"

Room Service: "Ow July den?!?... pryed, boyud, poochd?"
Guest: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry.. scrambled, please."

Room Service: "Ow July dee baykem? Crease?"
Guest: "Crisp will be fine."

Room Service: "Hokay. An Sahn toes?"
Guest: "What?"

Room Service: "An toes. July Sahn toes?"
Guest: "I.... don't think so."

RoomService: "No? Judo wan sahn toes???"

Remember I said "By the time you read through this YOU WILL UNDERSTAND 'TENJOOBERRYMUDS' "......and you do, don't you!

A big H/T to Judge Al (retired cop).

I laughed through the whole thing, but was ready to cry also. It reminds me way too much of what most customer service people sound like when I call.

The motels The Ol' Lady runs here used to be owned by Hinjews*, so all I had to do was put that accent to the words in my head and I understood it perfectly from the git go...

BTW, we're 100% AMERICAN owned and staffed now, so if anybody happens to be passing thru and needs a nice, clean place to flop at a good price, check us out at Townhouse Inns in Cape Girardeau and Jackson, MO.
