Overheard at the Diner
My back was turned - but I overheard the following conversation in the booth behind me:
Woman: Do you want home fries?
(silence)
Woman: Do you like potatoes? Because Homefries are potatoes.
Male: Yes.
Woman: He'll have the home fries.
It took the following bit of conversation to make me understand that the woman was sponsoring an exchange student:
Woman: Do you know what? When I hear you speaking in Korean, It always sounds like you're angry.
Male: Really?
Woman: Yes. Korean just sounds so angry.
For that brief moment, English sounded kind of tasteless!

You cannot be serious! Someone actually said THAT?
I just am speechless.

It's amazing to me how some people are so clueless. You would think a person who was open enough to host an exchange student would know better.
