During some informal witnessing, the lady I was with decided it was a good idea to tell an older jewish woman that Witnesses were in the Holocaust by choice.
Now that would probably make America's Funniest Home Videos, if you'd taped it! LOL

Ever been completely embarrassed by the householder in field service?
by fedorE ini recall i was in service with ken little, the canadian branch committee overseer, and he took the first door.
the magazines were talking about nuclear war and its impending disaster.
so ken little introduces himself and says "good morning sir,did you know that every minute they spend millions of dollars on the manufacturing of weapons......" the homeowner looks straight at him and says "yeah?

My Cats new Litter Box
by OUTLAW inalot of you have seen them..automated self-cleaning cat litter boxes..it`s frigg`n amazing!..the cat takes a dump..10 minutes later,a rake comes from the back of the box and scoops up the poop..theres a little garbage can at the front of the box..the garbage can lid is raised by the machine and the poop is placed in the garbage can..then the machine closes the lid and rakes the sand perfect,for the cats next poop..lol!
!...............theres been many improvements through the years and i`ve just upgraded to the new cat litter box "poopius maximus!"..lol!
!.......i was amazed how the first model could rake the sand so perfect and evenly.my first thought was:"what do they expect the cat do do,take a poop and play a round of golf in his litter box??"..lol!

Hi-tech litter box?? Man, you Western Hemisphere types have it good!
If I were you, I'd let the cat treat B.C. as one giant kitty litter box - apart from the bears, who's gonna know?
My cats just go outside and deal with that side of things themselves. They don't tell me what they do, and I don't want to know. And that's the way I like it.

To say 'how are you my friend', very often is heard like this " Howzit my China" No idea where or why this came to be.
As an Aussie, I can answer that! It's from rhyming slang. This example exists in both the Cockney and Oz repertoires:
China (plate) = mate

If you have seen 'Blood Diamond' with Leonardo de Caprio, he does a fair copy of the accent.
I find that when I'm trying to do a New Zealand accent, I end up sounding more "Sarth Effrikan"

Spoken as a question, it means what Barry says. As a statement, it means "Absolute truth; I wouldn't tell you no lies!"
Example:
"Fair dinkum??"
"Fair dinkum!"

Sounds like she's straining the 'Strine a bit much. I'm not surprised it raised eyebrows on an American domestic flight. But like Brinjenny, I can't fathom what the flight attendant thought she might have said?
