Or the time an English co-worker related the story surrounding her
initial job interval in the US. She described the stunned look on the
face of the desk clerk at the local Holiday Inn when she asked to be
knocked up at 7:30 the next morning.
This reminds me of the rather surprised look on my Australian colleague's
face when I said I was going to have a root in the cupboard for a missing
manual.
