For whatever reason I am good at understanding people who are speaking with an accent. In my wife and my travels over the years I am always the designated interpretor. I have never mastered any language other than English (and sometimes my mastery of that is in serious doubt), but when other people speak ‘merican in a mangled form, usually after a minute or so I can figure out what they are trying to say. Also, I don’t notice it, but my wife will tell me that as I talk for a while to people who have a strong accent, I will start to take on that accent in my speech as well.
Mike Ward‘s 6-year old daughter was having a sleep over and she wrote him a list of what she wanted to do. He can understand his daughter’s list, but was offering a free beer to anyone else who could decipher it too.

So Mike, if I’m right on the draw thing, when’s a good time to stop by?
You are correct sir…. although I have no clue how you pulled that one off (the draw thing I mean).
Feel free to stop by anytime but give me a call first so I can make sure I have your favorite brew chilled.
Good job!
I would have guess bowl. No free beer for me. 🙁
I must remember to read before I press submit.
I meant, “I would have guessed bowl.” Like in bowling.
