[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 709462, member: 11832"] OMG, Crayola! Bags of urine! Nasty! Candy interrupted me yesterday when I was about to tell my favorite Fatima story. We worked in a seed lab. We had samples of all types of seeds that we were required to test for purity and germination. One day we received a mixture labeled "range grass." Fatima asked innocently, "What is range?" I answered, "Where the deer and the antelope play." The next person said, "And seldom is heard a discouraging word." And the third person said, "And the skies are not cloudy all day." Fatima stomped her foot and marched off in a huff. A lot of our interactions with Fatima centered around her mispronunciations of English words. Once the aforementioned Dave had just returned from visiting his wife's relatives in Newfoundland. Fatima asked, "Did you see askimoose?" Dave and I were both confused. I said, "What is that? A moose on skis?" She started yelling, "Askimoose! Askimoose!" Finally one of us realized she meant: Eskimos. One time she said, "In my country, camel is like Mercedes." We had a list of everyone's birthdays. We had just hired a new man who happened to have the same birthday as Fatima. She blurted out, "How come Rakesh have same day burfday as me?!?" [/QUOTE]
