Room Service

To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation. This has been nominated for the best email of 2005.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review:

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

I like!!!

I remembered my dad was on board a plane from Singapore to LA. And during meal times the air stewardess asked him:

Chickin airport??

My dad scratched his head and asked her to repeat.

It was only after a long conversation that he understood she meant:

Chicken or pork?
