French Lesson
I managed a steamship office and we opened up a trucking division in my city. The headquarters for the trucking division was in Montreal, and the boss up there spoke french. So I hire a transport manager locally to start the operation, she trains with me for a couple of weeks, and then we sent her to Montreal to train in HQ.
So this grandmotherly transport manager wanted to impress the boss in Montreal with a little bit of french, (by the way I speak french) so she asks me to tell her how to say “I’m pleased to make your acquaintance” in french.
So I tell her how, she actually recorded me saying it so she could practice it for a week. So the big day comes and she heads off to Montreal (from charleston, SC) and the boss is going to pick her up at the airport.
So they meet each other in baggage claim, she walks up to the VP of operations for this huge steamship line (admittadly I AM pretty good friends with him) and she tells him that she wants to play with his ding dong. He responds “thank you very much” and – as expected- never let on that I punked her.
But when he got a chance away from her, he calls me in his VERY heavy accent….Joooo are a funny son-of-a-beeeeech!! Story credit: Reddit / boxingdude
