My friend used to get me to go with her to the deli at the store and ask me to order what she wanted.

The deli person would invariably give me this totally puzzled look, then look over at my friend and say, "What did she say?" My friend would say, "Tell her again, Jan." I never got anyone to be able to understand me, even when I tried hard!

I will never forget when I was at the deli near work in Baltimore getting breakfast and had to "interpret" between the African American with a heavy southern, black accent and the Vietnamese owner who was relatively new to the country, me being lily white but a "traveler" so I had heard a lot more accents than either of them.
