A Conversation with the Delivery Guy

Him: What's your street?

Me: Vassal Street (not my real street name)

Him: Spell it please?

Me: V as in victor...

Him: Dee?

Me: No. Vee. As in violin.

Him: Cee?

Me: No, not cee. VEE as in vetarinary.

Him: What?

Me: Vee. Like you're holding your first two fingers up.

Him: Dee?

Me: No. VEE. Like the purple flower, violet. Like your fingers are up.

Him: What street is it off?

Me: (gives cross streets.)

Him: OH! Wee! Wassal Street.

Me: (resigned with head in hand) Yes. Wee. Wassal Street.

Him: Be there in five minutes.


Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee.

Ok, going to get all racy and inappropriate here...This made me howl with laughter; a certain Indian friend of ours pronounces a certain few words as "veiner" and "wagina", a great source of entertainment for us every single time. Cuz we're nothing but a bunch of dorky kids here.
