There’s A Spider in the Bathroom

Not a real spider. Watch an accent coach teach this sentence.

The UKs are great, the southern US is ok but I like the Jamaican best.

If there's a spider in the bathroom, take it outside.

But she's pretty darn good. I couldn't do those accents. Not sure she got New York correct.

I have a personal House Rule about nature's living things. The inside of the house is mine, the outside is theirs. They come inside, they are at my mercy. I go outside, I am at theirs.

As for accents, well, that's another story.

If there's a big, hairy spider in the bathroom, then it's best to move home.

Buddy and
I rode motorcycles to New York City in 64 when the worlds fair was going on.
I bought something in a deli and the guy asked me if I wanted mick with that. He probably thought that I was the dumbest hick he ever saw.
After I asked what about 6 times I figured out he meant milk!

The Waitress in Disney World (another accent story)

Back in '83, we were in Florida. We took an all inclusive bus trip to Disney World. It included overnight accommodations and some meals.

So we're talking to the waitress and she asked me if I was with "waiters". I said no I'm not with the waiters and she said more adamantly, "NOT WAITERS, WAITERS". This went back and forth until it dawned in me she was saying "Wade Tours", the name of the bus company we were using.
The price of our meal was going to be put on the Wade Tours tab.

I don't know where her accent came from but it was thick.

This begs a question. How come she knew the difference in pronunciation when she heard it but not when she spoke it?
