I was in New York a few months ago in a bar on the corner of Times Square when I happened to overhear this Old Scottish couple talking. It was obvious from the way the husband was talking that the old lady was a wee bit deaf. They had very thick Aberdeen accents. If you don't know what this sounds like, I'll give you an English translation below the phonetic speech. Anyway, I'm sitting there drinking some Guinness when I see this tall American guy walk up to them and say... American: Well, excuse me there, Ma'am. I couldn't help but hear your accents. Where are you from? Old Lady: (Turns to husband) Wha's that maan sayne tae me Jimmy? I dinnae unnerstan a wurd he's sayne tae me... TRANSLATION = What is that man saying to me? I don't understand a word he's saying to me. Husband: He's axing you where we're frae, hen. TRANSLATION = He's asking you where we are from, dear. Old Lady: (Turns to American) We're frae Scotland, son. TRANSLATION = We are from Scotland, young man. American: Well, I'll be damned, Bonnie Old Scotland. I spent some time up in Bonnie Old Scotland. Tell me Ma'am, what part of Bonnie Old Scotland are you from? Old Lady: (Turns to husband) Wha's that maan sayne tae me Jimmy? I dinnae unnerstan a wurd he's sayne tae me... TRANSLATION = What is that man saying to me? I don't understand a word he's saying to me. Husband: He wuns tae know what part o' Scotland we're frae, hen. TRANSLATION = He wants to know what part of Scotland we are from, dear. Old Lady: (Turns to American) Aye, we're frae Aberdeen, son. TRANSLATION = Well, We are from Aberdeen, young man. American: Well, I'll be damned, you're from Aberdeen. I spent some time up in Aberdeen, and while I was there I made love to the ugliest, most disgusting woman in the world. Must be thirty years ago. Old Lady: (Turns to husband) Wha's that maan sayne tae me Jimmy? I dinnae unnerstan a wurd he's sayne tae me... TRANSLATION = What is that man saying to me? I don't understand a word he's saying to me. Husband: He seys he thinks he knows ye! TRANSLATION = He says he thinks he knows you!
