You don't need fake arrows to get stuck in IKEA... I Kant Esemble Anything.....
Love it Dan. Reminds me of a visit to a Chinese restaurant my family frequented in SF from the time I was a kid. My dad worked with the owner, and we were acquainted with, we thought, the whole family. They all spoke perfect English and shared a great sense of humor. One night, my brothers and I went in after a few drinks. The only Maitre'd we knew wasn't there that night. In his place was a woman whose English was about what your post depicted. She advised us that there would be a "wong late" and asked for a name. I told her Yanopopodopolis and we went into the bar. After having a drink and shooting the bull with the owner, we heard her trying to pronounce the name in every possible way you can imagine. As I said goodbye to the owner, he laughed his A$$ off and told me he didn't understand why his daughter insisted on being so Chinese.By the time you finish reading the following conversation, you will understand the meaning of Ten Jew Berry Mud.
