Jeez, Seattle, I'm pretty good at these types of riddles, but you have me stumped.
And guess what else? I didn't fall off a turnip truck either....
The last time I took someone's advice for saying something in a foreign language, I had 3 guys chasing me for months. Story: I was on a bowling league when I lived in CA (this was my first date with Mr. W. BTW). I was the league secretary, and we had a team of guys who spoke absolutely no English.
I had 8 years of Spanish, but I don't think they wanted to discuss hair color or eating utensils with me... or Spanish literature either. My wacko neighbor was on my team--she was originally from Nicaragua and funny as hell.
One of the guys wanted to have a convo with me, and she offered to be a translator. (We were in the middle of frames, so I figure that chit chat was okay.) I said what she told me to say.... The next thing I knew, he had me in a liplock and was feeling my butt.
I whacked him good (I think we were supposedly talking about the 49ers) and he looked stunned. There stood my friend, having a cow in fits of laughter. Oddly enough, he took the whacking as some sort of sick invitation for pursuit. I spent the next few months beating him off with a stick....
Until a few months later, when my friend finally admitted to him what I had really said. He apologized on his knees (I knew that one). He spent the rest of our season walking around me with a red face... I found out that I had told him that I was a prostitute who had a thing for construction workers and would sleep with him for free...
NO WAY!!!!! I'M NOT GOING TO FALL FOR THAT AGAIN!
