“Sydney. That’s…. um….. that’s…. er. That’s in Australia, right?” (Checkout chick @ Target)

"What's this?" (pointing to an advocado) (another member of my running club)

Do you have amusement parks in Australia? (the bf)

"I recognise your accent! You're Irish! I love Ireland! I lived there for 3 months!" (girl at Pizza parlour)

and the best one of all........

“I’m sorry, I only speak English” (IT Helpdesk)
