Lost in Translation - Georgia Style

My Husband calls a salon to ask some questions about Locks of Love.

Husband : Your website says you cut for locks of love?
Salon: Yes, but it has to be 10 inches in length minimum.
Husband: Okay well we have three very small boys........
Salon: I was talking about the hair.
Husband: Ummmm, so was I?

...........................................

At dinner in a German Restaurant in Helen, Georgia.
The family is winding up the meal.......I set my beer glass down.
Waitress appears.
Smiles at family.
Asks me "Would you like another Hubby Bison?"
I stare at her.......my face glazes over as I engage my inner babel-fish..........I get nothing.

Then I remember the words of my old roommate Jeff, who was the only guy who could understand the owner of the local Chinese restaurant "Listen with an accent."

Hubby Bison............

HEFE WEIZEN..............

"No thank you, we'll just take the check."
