Subject: More miscommunication



Miscommunication abounds! A few years ago while visiting my daughter at

Georgetown, we dined at one of those trendy little cafes. We have a clearly

discernable "Philadelphia accent." Our waiter was foreign. I asked for a

drink of water. The waiter replied, "Yes, Ma'm, I'll take your order."
