My wife and I love the British murder mysteries! Thanks to "closed caption" we can actually understand them now! Years ago I started a business in London for a company I was working for at the time. I spent the next few years visiting London, hiring personnel and expanding the business. Loved the people! However it took me a little time to understand certain dialects! No closed captions in conversations!!

PT really helped me with a spine problem I had a few years ago. So much so that I was able to cancel my surgery. When I had my hip replaced a little over a year ago I asked my Ortho Doc for a PT referral. He said I didn't need it! He said just "Walk, Walk, Walk." Well my permanent residence is in Minnesota and this was January with the temperature at the time below zero and every walkway or sidewalk had ice or snow on it! And, it would be this way for a few months!
I just looked at him and said, in a heavy Norwegian accent, you mean Walk, Slip, Fall, and come back to you for my other hip! He didn't laugh but the nurses did!!

Hi, Mike @mikead63

I can see the scene: "I just looked at him and said, in a heavy Norwegian accent, you mean Walk, Slip, Fall, and come back to you for my other hip! He didn't laugh but the nurses did!!" I laughed, too. It worries me when a doctor doesn't laugh. I'll sit there, puzzled, wondering if he's seen something in my X-ray that he's not telling me about. 🙂

Thanks god for captioning! Except some characters, usually the ones which the most impenetrable dialects, speak so rapidly, even with captions, my eyeballs can't keep up. 🙂

Cheers!

@mikead63 ~
Maybe he hadn't time for his regular Lutefisk breakfast that day?
Or, maybe he hadn't been lead
gently enough into the topic of the weather? :
-- "What d'ya think of this weather?"
-- "Boy, it's something"
-- "I've never seen anything like it."
-- "You got that right."
-- "It's gonna do something."
-- "I don't like the looks of those clouds."
-- "I'd say it could do anything."
-- "A guy wants to keep his eye on weather like this."
-- "You bet."
All quotes are from "How To Talk Minnesotan" by Howard Mohr.
I hope you were able to return home to enjoy "a little lunch"!
