Like the overachiever I consider myself to be.... I spend a good 10 minutes learning 2 greek phrases -- "Wow, you are absolutely beautiful" & "No, just that one sentence". Corny? Absolutely, but I felt it would be a good ice breaker.
Anyways.... I kept repeating it over and over and over and over (in the shower im repeating this chit). I had the phrase down PERFECT and I'm ready to go....
She shows up, I invite her in. I say thanks for coming and I say the words "e-say omorfee" -- she looks at me like I'm nucking futs and says "what the hell is that". I immediately replied "god damn it, did I say it wrong? I practiced for like 15 minutes to get it just right". Still looking confused.... "Your website said you speak greek." Get the giggle and laughter ensues. Best ice breaker EVER.
I sh*t you not.... you can't make this stuff up.

And yes, I knew most of the other acronyms... I apparently missed the part about "greek".
Just wanted to share. Not exactly "family friendly" material, but I had to share it with someone -- I just had to. It's too good of a story NOT to share it!
